Hacker or Keylogger. Which one?

I have peoplepc online with a dial-up connection and Windows XP. Every time
I hit a key there is a clicking sound, like when you take a picture with a
flash camera.
I've done some research and found there is something new now where each key
you press is recorded and some software program lets you play back the
recording on the keys and through this method whatever you typed is displayed
on the screen. With the information the hacker can gain access to your
computer using some type of toolbar and change settings in your registry, add
something to a download, re-direct so that if you use dial-up it will connect
to their phone, where they can make long distance calls at your expense, and
the list goes on and on. They can change your homepage, and all types of
settings.
I know it's either a hacker or keylogger, but how do I get rid of this
without reformatting my hard drive?
