Anyone have any idea how well Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta is at
finding/eliminating keystroke tracking programs. I've heard they are pretty
illusive.
 
I know the intent is to detect them. There's been lots of speculation here,
ranging from whether it detects commercial keyloggers, to whether it would
detect a keylogger placed by a law enforcement agency.

About all I can say is that I believe the intent is to inform the user about
keyloggers in place, including commercial ones, and we have examples in these
message groups about such detections. The record on success at removal is
less clear--I would always recommend that if a keylogger is detected on your
system, you call Microsoft PSS--they will provide free help with such removal
operations, which can be tricky.

If you know of a specific keylogger which is not detected, I'd be happy to
bring that to the attention of the team.
