There are many programs that do that, not just one virus. technically, it’s not even called a virus, it’s a keylogger.
To get keyloggers off your system, use regular antivirus scans: (good and free) and spyware scans: and
But that alone is not enough. Imagine you unknowingly get a keylogger on your system on friday. You do some online banking etc. Then on saturday you find and remove the keylogger with those programs above. It’s too late, the passwords have been recorded and sent back to the person who put the keylogger on your pc. To protect yourself from that scenario, use this program
Make sure to download the personal version, it is free. What it does is this: it encrypts all your keystrokes at kernel level, so even if there is a keylogger on your system, it will not be able to find out what you’ve typed. The logs will only contain mumbo-jumbo. I’ve tested it myself with a few different keyloggers and it works perfectly! That will protect you until you finally remove the keylogger with the programs I mentioned at the start.

There are many viruses that do that. Your only protection against viruses is anti-virus software and updated virus definitions.
If AVG, the net’s most popular free virus scanner is fine, you just have to keep the updates up to date.
