I think I may have one, is there anyway I can test to make sure I dont? Also, whats the best way to get rid of it?

probly help if you had more details. do you think its a paid keylogger or a free trial one?

Download and run Threatfire, after that run AntiMalwarebytes in Safe mode.... I'm assuming you know how to get into safe mode?

I agree, run a Full System scan using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware in Safe Mode

How do you think you got rid of it? It's usually that simple, but just in case...

I normally rescan to make sure the virus has been removed

What makes you think you have a keylogger?

Malwarebytes is the answer. If you want to be 100% sure you don't have anything nasty then consider a system format.

If you really can't remove it, reformat.
