Think im infected by a keylogger, but cant find it!

Hi!,
I`m posting this here in the hope that someone can give me some advice, or at least some peace of mind,
after doing a spyware/Virus check with with different scanners, Norton detected a known keylogger inside a deleted file inside my recycle bin.
It said it was called SmartKeystrRecPro.exe.
Now I know I opened this file, but as usual nothing was amiss at the time.
Ive since done a check with various progs but it only ever spots the deleted file in the bin and not one in my system anywhere,
Is it hiding somewhere?
I`m presuming it excecuted when I opened the file and installed itself somewhere, but I cant find the thing!
Can anyone please recommend a scan to mke sure it isn`t my system somewhere?
Why can my scanners spot the deleted threat but not the installed one?
Please help, I`m totally stuck this time!

I`m running Vista Home Premimum.

I`d really appreciate any advice at all on this, thanks.

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
alternate download link 1
alternate download link 2

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
• Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
• Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

• Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

Note:
-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.

Thank you so much! It has found some items that my other scans have missed, I followed your great and easy guide, MMmm no sign of that Keylogger though, strange.

Firstly I must apologise for not replying till now, I was taken ill at Xmas and have been unable to access the internet at all since then,
I`ve only managed to get back online today.
I`ve tried ATF cleaner and SuperAntiSpyware.
It has only picked up cookies by the look of it and still no sign on that keylogger! Does this mean I am clean or am I just being optimistic?
Once again I thank you for your time and detailed advice.

The Log is below, once again, thank you.
