Hello! Well I have been paranoid for awhile that I might have a Keylogger on my laptop. I Accidentally clicked a link and it brought me to a very inappropriate website! Ever since then I have been paranoid. I did Avast scans on my laptop and it said “No Threat Found” does that mean there’s no Keylogger? So anyway does Avast! Free Detect and remove keylogger/trojans?
Please reply back I am very Paranoid
Yes, it detects Keyloggers via signatures.
avast! detects all types of malware.
Definition of malware : Malware includes computer viruses, ransomware, worms, trojan horses, rootkits, keyloggers, dialers, spyware, adware, malicious BHOs, rogue security software, and other malicious programs; the majority of active malware threats are usually worms or trojans rather than viruses.

recomended extra scanner for the paranoid Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.org

Okay thank you very much y’all
Keyloggers can also be legit (a PUP = Potentially Unwanted Program), so you may want to enable scanning for PUPs in the scan that you are doing. Open the settings for the particular scan that you are doing
Will do
Thank you all very much!
You’re welcome.
I did the scan with the PUP check marked and it said “No Threat Found” Does that mean that there’s no keylogger? :o
I’m very sorry If I sound annoying I just get paranoid over the craziest things ever.
And thank you
Yes
But if you still feel unsecure, you can try a scan with malwarebytes free.
Okay thank you very much.
You welcome
