Key loggers are programs that record every key stroke so your activities can be monitored by other parties.
Parents often install key loggers on their children's PCs to monitor their activities. Businesses and organizations install them on employee PCs to ensure their people are complying with procedures. Spies, jealous lovers, snoops and stalkers can use them to create havoc in your life.
Key loggers are deliberately hard to detect and defeat. If people could find and dispose of them easily, they would not be effective.

If you can't detect them, how to do you defeat them? That's the challenge, especially when you're dealing with criminals who have access to National Security Agency types of technology!
