I believe the proper word is "Anti Virus"

http://www.hitmanpro.nlIts a great program that downloads ALL the anti spam and stuff programs, deletes everything etc.
if that doesnt clear it, reinstall your pc
and AVG virus scanner is free and good.

Keylogger and Virus are to very different problems.
If you are worried about someone stealing your logins to silkroad or your bank information then yes you need anti-keyloger.
An Antivirus program will search for known keyloggers however a program that records key strokes or takes a screenshot of a page and then emails the information to someone can be written into a software program and will not be detected. SOOOO you need to set up (properly) a firewall.
There is a free one out their that has a good reputation, I can't think of what it is called.
There is a big thread somewhere, you should search for it.
Edit*
Spybot is a good program, however it really should be considered an additional program, not a primary antivirus scanner. AVG is great. I use AdAware for normal spyware, and Spybot when I remember to run it.

if you dont know what type of keylogger it is, then the only way to get rid of it is to format and reinstall windows. it is always good to reinstall. if you never done it before then look on the makers website they have a hotkey set on boot that will bring you to the restore software.. but before you do this do some reading on how it is done and also have your cd's near by.
