    Put a malware scanner on your USB Key, MalwareBytes, SpyBot, and a good virus checker (if you can find one which will run from a USB Key) try: www.portableapps.com

    Else always change your password when you return home if you've used your webmail and any secure site logins.

    Most keyloggers are very hard to find. Theres no software that can detect them all for sure. You need a certain knowledge of what to look for in any logs too
