I don't know how a key logger or spyware works but I assume they
would have to be hidden as a trojan within some innocent program in
order to get you to install them. You might want to look at Little
Snitch which is a reverse firewall. It will let you know when any
program tries to send information via the net. And Checkmate
generates checksums for various key programs to compare to and make
certain they don't get altered. hth
