What are the best anti keylogger and anti-RAT softwares for Mac?

Here's an article from March that lists the top anti-keylogger software. http://www.macping.com/top-10-software-that-can-effectively-block-mac-keylogger- programs-on-your-computer/#comments

But it wasn't very helpful when it came to choosing one. Has anyone done extensive tests on these to see which ones are most effective?

And what if your computer has been compromised in other ways?

What's the best software out there for giving you piece of mind without having to wipe the entire computer?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

If you have reason to suspect that someone has installed a keylogger on your system, erasing it and reinstalling everything from scratch is going to be the only way you can be certain that the keylogger is removed. Any anti-malware software could miss something, regardless of the developer's claims.

As to prevention, the best approach is to just make sure that no one has physical access to your computer without your supervision and to keep the system secure from remote access by turning off unneeded services and using strong administrator passwords. Physical access, remote access or trickery are the only ways someone can install a keylogger onto your system.
