Hi Audric,

Keyloggers are tiny invisible applications that creep onto computer easily and record everything from keystore to clicking model easily. Once it is through the setting of a PC, it works to send information to the host computer.

Keyloggers can be dangerous as they can:
  • Record all kind of keystrokes or sometime they are sophisticated enough to run particular activity like tracking web browser. As soon as it observes the desired behavior, keyloggers start working to capture confidential data.
  • This Trojan tends to be the most resolute malware and take extra steps to privatize its presence, including via the use of rootkits.
How to detect a keylogger:
A user has to take help of a simple process to detect the virus and to eradicate it from a system as the virus remains installed in more than hundred places of a computer. However, you can try with this process to detect whether a keylogger is running or not. 
  1. You have to press the Cntrl+Alt + Del concurrently to open the task manager. 
  2. The task manager will display a list of the applications currently running on the machine.

I kept getting the blue screen with Driver Power State Failure error message and then my computer would restart. I found your product and it did not happen any more. I just purchased an anti-virus (kaspersky) and now it is doing it again. It is so frustrating. My computer is only 6 months old. It is a Asus desktop.
