    ----
I am suspicious about presence of a key-logger or stealer in my pc..
But I tried to analyze the traffic,I can't find any thing suspicious..
I asked to my freind he say's some malwares has anti-options so softwares like wire-shark can't detect it's traffic and he also says the keylogger will send will send the logs at a specified time interval ,so how can i detect it's traffic?
what are the other famous traffic analyzers?
And most of the hackers are advanced and the virus is completely fud(runt time),so scanning with anti-virus wont do any thing..
I also tried to look in auto-start up,I found nothing suspicious..
How can i detect it based up on the traffic from my system?
Hope i will get some help here...

Manoj,

Have you tried checking hidden executables from your system?

dir *.exe /ASH /S

You may want to run Trend Micro's Hijackthis / SIC tool and send the log to this forum.

Do you use a firewall with permissions for individual programs. It may pay the check the permitted programs and any logs the firewall keeps.
