A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer's keyboard. As a hardware device, a keylogger is a small battery-sized plug that serves as a connector between the user's keyboard and computer. Because the device resembles an ordinary keyboard plug, it is relatively easy for someone who wants to monitor a user's behavior to physically hide such a device "in plain sight." (It also helps that most workstation keyboards plug into the back of the computer.) As the user types, the device collects each keystroke and saves it as text in its own miniature hard drive. At a later point in time, the person who installed the keylogger must return and physically remove the device in order to access the information the device has gathered.
A keylogger program does not require physical access to the user's computer. It can be downloaded on purpose by someone who wants to monitor activity on a particular computer or it can be downloaded unwittingly as spyware and executed as part of a rootkit or remote administration (RAT) Trojan horse. A keylogger program typically consists of two files that get installed in the same directory: a dynamic link library (DLL) file (which does all the recording) and an executable file (.EXE) that installs the DLL file and triggers it to work. The keylogger program records each keystroke the user types and uploads the information over the Internet periodically to whoever installed the program.
Although keylogger programs are promoted for benign purposes like allowing parents to monitor their children's whereabouts on the Internet, most privacy advocates agree that the potential for abuse is so great that legislation should be enacted to clearly make the unauthorized use of keyloggers a criminal offense. -whatis
Thank me if I helped. Lol
If you used common sense, you wouldn't have needed to post this question...
Key logger...
Could it possibly log the key strokes I use?
That's crazy talk =P
in other words what everyone is saying
YOU DONT WANT A KEYLOGGER

People might regard this as mean, but with your name ( Haxing4Life, you obviously havent, i know i read someone else making the same comment towards you, secondly if you downloaded the bypass like you said you did, you honestly deserve it, by not reading what everyone else has said about it, looking for a virus scan, or scanning your self, and lastly being that desperate for a hack you would download a hack from someone who has 1 post. Retards, complete and utter retards.
How do you get rid of the keylogger if you already got it?
You could be arrested for that, go to jail for taking money from other peoples bank acconts!!
Or you can also get pwned by receiving a " Junk Flea Elimination - 140 Kills...... F3 Let's Do it team!!!! wwwwwwaaaaaddw wwww wwwww w w 4 wwwww32q shift shift.. etc " /end sarcasm.
Hell yeah keyloggers are very dangerous if you run your bank account or any important things on the infected pc.
people, stop posting here, the subject was relentlessly discussed and this thread should be closed. end
