I am worried about keyloggers. I wonder is there a way to detect all the installed hooks on a system and see what types of hooks are being run?

The windows API doesn't provide any function that can enumerate all installed event hooks.

Yep. I am not shure if a driver may has access to such information. Another solution would be API Hooks. Search around a little bit (on codeproject.com for example) and you will find how to hook API calls. With this technology you could easily catch every request for a windows hook.

So far I have never done this before.
