Dear ako,
-My 1st suggestion is:
*Junkware Removal Tool*
A security utility that searches for and removes common Adware, Toolbars, and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
http://thisisudax.org/
-My 2nd suggestion is:
*GE Geek's Tech Toolkit*

It is sometimes difficult to categorize - the product may have simultaneously various elements. They say it is mainly a keylogger:
"SpyShelter is an antikeylogger which can protect you against attacks that happen even when you do ordinary computer tasks like: typing into your computer, getting screenshots, opening files, and visiting sites. The SpyShelter monitors vulnerable and weak spots in your computer system to ensure that even the most sophisticated keyloggers are shut down even before these can launch a single dangerous attack against your computer. It ensures that sensitive data you enter and store on your computer will not get stolen by criminals for their own use."
