Surprisingly little. After killing Duncan, his feelings seem to have been numbed so that he does not feel any remorse for his killings. He does feel fear, however, which killing more people only makes worse. On the other had he says to Macduff, "my soul is too much charged with blood of thine already" which suggests that even at this late date, he feels some remorse about the murders.

Macbeth chooses to have Macduffs family killed so that he may seize the Macduff castle for his own. The witches also tell him to 'beware Macduff' when he visits them and so he feels threatened by him.

What finally convices malcom that macduff is loyal?

or it could be that malcom didnt trust macduff because Macbeth hadnt touch macduffs family yet. and when Macbeth had macduffs family murdered..that's when the trust came,Macduff says he's loyal and trustworthy.Still, Malcolm's a little paranoid so he decides to test Macduff by suggesting that even he, Malcolm, might make a poor king, were they to defeat Macbeth. Scotland would suffer, he says, under his own bad habits. Malcolm claims to have an impossible lust that would only get worse as he devoured all of the maidens of Scotland.Macduff at first insists there are plenty of maidens in Scotland, and Malcolm would be satisfied.Malcolm presses further about how bad he would be as king, and Macduff finally despairs that Scotland apparently is going to be in trouble either way.Malcolm then relents because he sees Macduff is truly devoted to Scotland, not to a political alliance
