I have no idea how one would determine "best".
Consider, free, WinPatrol 14 by BillP: »billpstudios.blogspot.com/2008/0···ing.html |

Keylogging, in itself, is about as diverse as rootkitting these days. There are so many different very ambiguous methods of logging keystrokes, just like there are different ways to hide files with a rootkit.
Additionally, most of the time, keyloggers employ rootkit techniques, such as driver and file hiding, to keep themselves invisible.
As with rootkits, the same rules apply to keyloggers: any tool can be bypassed.
I've heard SpyCop has decent keylogger detection. However, I'm unaware of it's anti-rootkit abilities. If it lacks detection of most kernel mode rootkits, it probably fails overall as an anti-keylogger. Same goes for WinPatrol.
KAV 7 has decent rootkit and keylogger detection, through a combination of raw disk scanning, good signatures and heuristics, and a HIPS module.

My question is, do you mean preventive or detection?
Very different subjects. 
If you have someone with physical access...well, software won't help much. Ever see a hardware keylogger?
No? Thats the idea.
Like mice, webcams and/or keyboards with built-in loggers, with their own memory? Cheeep too, nowdays.
You aren't supposed to know. 
If it can be attached to a PC, it can log whatever it does.

Hardware keyloggers are really not that much to worry about if you know how to bypass them. Any decent virtual keyboard will do the trick. But keep in mind that virtual keyboards are really best for inputting your passwords and credit card numbers etc, not for every word you type in. But isn't that what you most need to protect anyway?
There are a few free virtual keyboards that work so well I couldn't find one commercial keylogger (hardware, kernel or hook based) that could beat them. Just thought I throw that out there for you. |

Give us list of the ones you find unbeatable. |
