Simply put, can an antivirus program detect if a keylogging program was installed on my device?

It should. Lookout can identify them once they have then in their database.

Well, I don't think so. My World of Warcraft account was recently hacked and I tried to change the old password, what's worse, I found that my email account was hacked too. I suspected that someone may installed some spy software like keylogger on my computer, and I've run scans with Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware and all have come up lean. At last, I resetted my computer in order to delete the keylogger, I really disappointed with the antivirus program.
