Hi

Typically, if you do not login as root, use sudo only for true administrative tasks, and you don't download software from non-trusted sites, you shouldn't have to worry.

However, if you want to check, you can see if the ubuntu keylogger package is installed on your system in a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) with this command

dpkg-query -l '*lkl*'

Additionally, you can check for rootkits by installing and running either chkrootkit or rkhunter, both of them are in the repositories

Good luck
