haha yeah I know they are not that dumb..! :p but I gathered few suspicious looking processes and manually ended and removed few of them already..!
Such keylogger!

Such keylogger!

LiveCD are good. You can take out the harddisk, start from a livecd. That way you are free from a software keylogger, but not from a hardware keylogger.
You could just change the BIOS settings to boot from the disc. You don't have to actually take the HDD out to do it.
Reinstall. If the keylogger is well made and not spread out too much you will never detect it.
I just want to know is can't I look into all running processes manually to check whether a suspicious process in running in background that might be a keylogger..? They usually conceal themselves under normal looking names.

You should use Kaspersky Internet Security, it's great!
Will it detect key loggers..! because many antivirus fails.. when it comes to dealing with sophisticated keylogs and I'm quite skeptical that kaspersky will be an exception If you want to remove keyloggers and rootkits the best way is to create a liveCD with a good antimalware program on it. I would recommend superantispyware or malwarebytes.
If you don't know how to create one just google it

this should work for you
Keylogger can be physical or software. There are even some ways to try to detect what you type based on sound. I dont know how far you want to go;

Antother thing you can do to reduce risk is decentralize your valuable data. Put one data (bitcoin wallet?) in one machine, other in other machine.
Be very careful with proprietary software you install , a lot of companies, criminals and governments are interested in making spyware and Trojans - not to your benefit.

Hardware/Physical keylog is not a concern to me, I use MY own PC which no one else uses sometimes a family member of friend might use it, but they will not put any such device in my PC ...! so here my only concern is software keylog.

wow really is that is the solution you came up with... never use your keyboard ..! I was looking for something helpful...! 
Pretty much agree with all the posts above and through the thread
Lot of people know their stuff
I would also recommend using hijackthis if you determine that the Keylogger is being a stubborn process to delete.
Also helps to keep an original list so you can tell what new processes might be affecting your PC if a bug appears

download and run process explorer by sysinternals and check which ip address a process is connecting to.
install private firewall to block or filter various apps.you can also block the suspicious ip addresses

boot to a live cd and run superantispyware

i need free avast key for my PC i want to use good malware in my PC
are you sure you want to use good malware in your PC.? when i switch on my pc they needs 15 minutes to start i think my PC need good malware
You can also try spybot and check how many detections.
Reinstall. If the keylogger is well made and not spread out too much you will never detect it.
I just want to know is can't I look into all running processes manually to check whether a suspicious process in running in background that might be a keylogger..? Many advanced malware know how to conceal their identity by either using phony names that sound genuine processes - such as 'System Host', 'Browser Extension', 'Google Update Service' etc. (and maybe a different name every time they run), and some even do not appear on the process list!
That's called Rootkit (which I mentioned a few posts back). When you check for keyloggers, it is also imp to check for Rootkits.
