you may also want to invest in a good antivirus software so that you can deeply scan all of your files for any type of virus.delete them from program files go to c drive then program files and find the stuff you no need or its in my documents or whereever stuff goe after you download it
Also, a keylogger is exactly what its name says, it logs the keys you press on your keyboard and sends them to someone through means of email (other means may be used too). Its dangerous because it logs everything...your passwords, anything you type...information about your computer and even your credit card numbers. Its very dangerous and not something to be toyed with ...be careful on which programs you open.

The hotfix is just something windows update installed, don't worry about that, but DON'T uninstall it, either.

ok so I'm not double posting on the boards , I cleaned out my computer today, mostly went through the "add-delete" option, there were a few programs on there though, that I'm not sure about: "MSXML 4.0" AND "Windows XP Hotfix..." does anyone know what these are or what they do?
Don't uninstall MSXML 4.0, it is needed by some programs. I had it when installing one CAD program. And about the hotfix, hotfix are like small patches that are used in WINNT. WinXP is NT ver 5.1. Hotfixes are minor patches for patching up some small holes, service packs are major patches.
