keystroke loggers stores all the key presses you make on your computer, then either holds that information indefinitely or sends it to another computer.
main purpose is surveilance but mostly to compromise banking and social security information.
Always have an anti-spyware tool installed like CounterSpy

It is a type of trojan virus or spy program that logs keystrokes on your computer and sends the information to someone. It can be used to find out your passwords and login names so someone can take over your computer and accounts and be able to steal from you.

no longer all malware is seen in taskman. i've got in no way heard of rootkit technologies in an business key logger, inspite of the undeniable fact that it extremely is a hazard. Why do you prefer to comprehend? do exactly no longer do something you do no longer prefer anybody to comprehend. Their are different techniques for a community to comprehend the place you go surfing by applying sniffers.

It can log everything you have typed on your computer and records it..can even pick up passwords. You need a good anti-spyware program if you suspect someone has put a keylogger on your pc and they can do it without your knowledge and from other pc's..so beware.

It logs what keys have been pressed. It can be used by employees to monitor employee's activities. It can also be used by hackers to find out your passwords.
