Windows 10: Identifing Keylogger

1. How can I identify if there is a keylogger installed in my PC?
2. To what extent SAFE MODE (with networking) will protect from keylogger.
3. Antivirus will only detect a known keylogger not a custom built.
4. How can I be certain that Microsoft itself is not a keylogger or my antivirus or any other OS or the browser I use?
5. Task Manager shows details of app installed but how to know which running process is reliable, which is NOT ?

Win10 keylogger

if I disable the "collect keystrokes" option in Win 10 as suggested by other people does the keylogger still run?

i am thinking strongly about reverting back to win 7 - win10 was free for a reason! no better spyware around.

Thanks

Mike

If there’s no option to remove the blocked item, or to identify the threat, then you might want to see if any specific file is implicated; and if so, then upload that file to VirusTotal:

VirusTotal

If you want to delve a little deeper with antimalware, then you can use specialized anti-rootkit apps to go after kernel-based keyloggers:

And if you’re seriously concerned about this, as it seems you are; then you might also want to consider using an anti-keylogger app. If you’d like to try a free one, then I would recommend
