Does protection from spyware also include protection from keystroke loggers?

Keystroke loggers capture keystrokes and send the data... somewhere.
As such, if the data is being sent to a parent's account on the same computer/same network, it is being used as parental 'control' -- the parent gets a log of what their child is doing. However, keyloggers are also dropped as part of malicious attacks so that some nefarious individual/group can steal your online banking information / email accounts / online identity / etc.
