Hello pdstevens8,

I am very sorry but it looks like i won't be able to assist you more.
See below:

You should be aware that there are signs of a commercial keylogging program on your computer

Because it is impossible for us to establish ownership of the computer whose log you have posted, we are also unable to establish whether the program was installed with the owners permission. There may be legal ramifications with its removal which we are not equipped or trained to deal with. Because of this, we are unable to give directions to remove it from the computer.
  • If this is a Company machine, and you feel the program was not installed by your company, notify your company's IT department or those responsible for computer security.
  • If this is a private machine you may wish to take legal advice. Removal, also may need to be done by a suitably qualified professional.
