What are the existing methods for detecting keyloggers?

The existing methods for detecting keyloggers fall into one of two categories — (1) Scanning for known keyloggers, and (2) Trying to prevent the keyloggers from hooking into the Windows message stream. Neither method is foolproof, since new keyloggers cannot be detected with the first method and it is difficult to stop keyloggers from hooking into the Windows message stream.
