You can't unless you run a Anti-Spyware program to find it.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)
for further information on computer safety.

go to www.keyloggers.com and download a anti-keylogger or anti booter..
or go to task manager, and end process of each and every application you feel suspected and den delete them while searching on the pc.... some common keylogger applications are install.exe, keylggr.exe
you can also restore your pc on a back date... when u r sure, keylogger was not installed

Well, there is no way that you could find it. Do it like this have an Admin type account for you & all Limited accounts for the rest. So the other users of you PC will not be able to install any programs without your consent. Hope you got me. Umm else you can Search for recently created files & check wether there had been any Software installations. :)

The whole idea is that people will not know they are being watched, however, with the right tools you can tell. Try Rootkit Revealer from Winternals or Hijack This.

Run anti-virus and anti-spyware. Turn on your firewall and block any software you don't recognize.
if you need these for free I recommend:
Avast Anti-virus
Ad-Aware (anti-spyware)
SpyBot (anti-spyware)
and Filseclab firewall
You can get all of these from http://www.download.com/
