Hello,
so my father installed eblaster on my laptop a few years ago and used it until two years ago, unbeknowst to me of course (as a side note, I am definitely not a kid anymore, so as you can imagine I am not too thrilled). I just found out about it and obviously I am now quite worried.
First of all - I have had a new laptop for two years, he did not set up the system, I always had a strong password on it, and I never let him use it and tried never to leave him alone around it. So I don't think he managed to get something on this one, but you never know, and I would rather be sure.
Having to set up the entire system anew would be quite inconvenient, my windows 7 and all other program discs are not where I am right now. In a month I will be able to do it though. Until then, what are my options to find out about whether or not a keylogger or similar is being used on me? avast and MalwareBytes haven't picked up anything.
