      Anti spy ware work on the principle of Spy ware itself. If you know how a spyware works, then definitely you can easily understand the working of Antispyware. Key logger normally hook the key board events with the help of SetWindowsHookEx, now what a antispyware does is, it simply hook these types of API with the help of a technique API hooking([^]). Once this is done, if some application try to hook your key board mouse event or any other events it will report the error to you and block the activities for your permission.
