You sure its a keylogger. Try looking in your running programs/processes like Rjhgjbakiougg random crap or it might be a program name you dont know or own like Potatoscanner2.0.

If its a keylogger then disconnect from the internets cause it would have to be communicating with a server right so maybe a packet sniffer to find the program

unless some really skilled hacker would bother to hijack my steam and origin account for csgo and bf4 its a keylogger :P there are no weird programs running i have no idea how someone managed to do it but it was done. he even joined a platoon on bf4 lol and leveled me 4 ranks o,O

Easiest thing to do when not sure about keyloggers is to wipe your windows and by that I mean clean install with format. One hour and you are completely safe.

If you don't know what programme is doing it and you are sure it is a key logger, I don't see any other way.
