McAcfee found a keylogger Spyware called elitekeylogger in the system restore folder, but not anywhere else. Does this mean that there is a keylogger on my C drive, as system restore should make an exact copy as backup?

I kind of resubmitted this question. I have a KeyLogger I can't get rid of. I can't find any software that will remove it for Windows 7. That's such a shame :(

Thx for the answers. Actually, I didn't receive it in a giveaway.....if it was installed, it was installed without my knowledge.

There are several ways to uninstall Elite Keylogger. Please, note: the uninstallation method you choose much depends on the mode you installed Elite Keylogger in. Since version 3.0, uninstallation process was changed a bit. Right now the best way to uninstall Elite Keylogger is to use the "Uninstall keylogger" button in the Options tab of the GUI.If you installed Elite Keylogger in invisible mode:Uninstallation from invisible mode can be executed from the configuration utility or command line. To uninstall Elite Keylogger, please, go to Options tab and select "Quick Tasks - Uninstall Keylogger". If it only exists in the backup, then it has likely already been removed from your system. I would delete the backup that contains the keylogger, and create a new backup.HTH
