How to Install a Free Keylogger
A keylogger is a program that compiles and saves a list of every keystroke performed on a computer's keyboard. This allows a person to see exactly what someone else has been doing while using the computer. Keyloggers are used for good things such as troubleshooting network issues, making sure employees are doing their jobs or for parents to make sure their children aren't getting into troublesome activities while using the Internet.
