Do you know your PC is being watched all along behind you? Your PC remembers whatever you do on it. For example, when you sign in to your email account, you are asked if you wish to keep logged in or not? Remember Password?-- Is a common question you face. You may have also noticed that all the words you typed are saved. Who does this? ---Keylogger.
The common definition of keylogger is: a software program designed to secretly monitor and log all keystrokes. However, the definition is not absolutely correct. Experts say that keylogger can be both a software – or device, or either.

# Jealous spouses or partners can use a keylogger to track the actions of their better half on the Internet if they suspect them of “virtual cheating”;
#Company security: tracking the use of computers for non-work-related purposes, or the use of workstations after hours;
# Company security: using keyloggers to track the input of key words and phrases associated with commercial information which could damage the company (materially or otherwise) if disclosed;
# Other security (e.g. law enforcement): using keylogger records to analyze and track incidents linked to the use of personal computers;
Legit programs may have a keylogging function which can be used to call certain program functions using “hotkeys,” or to toggle between keyboard layouts (e.g. Keyboard Ninja). There is a lot of legitimate software which is designed to allow administrators to track what employees do throughout the day, or to allow users to track the activity of third parties on their computers. However, the ethical boundary between justified monitoring and espionage is a fine line. Legitimate software is often used deliberately to steal confidential user information such as passwords.
Most modern keyloggers are considered to be legitimate software or hardware and are sold on the open market. Developers and vendors offer a long list of cases in which it would be legal and appropriate to use keyloggers, including:
Activity for you and they are made by a person too.So if the creator of the keylogger makes the keylogger in a way that the creator himself is monitoring your activities you are unsafe!.This can happen easily.Don't fall in a trap you made for others.
