If you have a software keylogger, you need to know the source of it. 
Check from where you install software and reduce the sources to the 
lowest as possible. Avoid proprietary software and support groups who do 
code reviews to make backdoors less easy.

There is still the risk that someone in the supply chain places malware 
inside, see the ssh/liblzma issue.
