Every single person who uses the internet should have proper protection. I recommend Spybot: Search & Destroy 1.4, AVG Anti-Virus free edition and Windows Defender. All of these are Free and are great at catching keyloggers, spyware etc.
They can all be found at download.com

No. Download a program like Spybot S&D or AD-Aware and use it to remove keyloggers.

if you use windows restore, that will not remove the keylogger. if you use a system restore(factory default settings) or re-format windows, then you will be able to remove the keylogger. try running a virus, anti-spyware before doing so. try to get a virus, spyware, firewall for you computer to protect yourself.

A system restore will not remove malware completely. Follow the steps below to try and get rid of the keylogger.
Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run:
Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym
Second download, update and run scans using the following products:
SuperAntispyware
http://superantispyware.com/
Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating)
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
AVG AntiSpyware
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating)
Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process.
Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources.
SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)

================================
If you cannot get it removed after the above, you may want to join a tech group that specializes in providing manual instructions on malware eradication.

It will be removed
Also scan your hard disk for anti-virus and trojans by using a good anti-virus software. This will in all probability remove the keylogger too.

Ok look, Simple answer.
It will not be removed, but it will stop running.
If you want to remove it use an AV or AS.
