    A key logger sometimes called spying software is a small program which is used to monitor a local or a Remote PC, Key loggers now a day are so easy to use that a person with even a basic knowledge of computers can use key logger. Once a key logger is installed in your computer it can monitor each and every keystroke typed on your computer, thus you can see how dangerous a key logger can be.

    <strong>Types of Key logger</strong>
    There are two types of Key loggers:

    1.Hardware key logger
    2.Software key logger

    Hardware key loggers are rarely used now a days since you can monitor a Remote computer, Software key loggers are the most widely used key loggers as some of them support remote installation which means that you can monitor any computer anywhere in the World.

    Can the victim detect its presence once key logger is installed in his/her computer?

    Well it's really difficult for the victim to detect key logger’s presence as it runs in complete stealth mode, It hides itself from task manager, startup etc

    Can I the victim trace you back?

    Once the key logger is installed, I think it's almost impossible for the victim to trace you back

    How can I protect myself from key logger?

    A simple key logger can be detected by even a lame antivirus, but sometimes the attacker can use methods like Crypting, Binding, Hexing etc, that make it harder for the Antivirus to detect the key logger. So to counter that you should use a piece of software called sandboxie, Sandboxie runs the chosen computer program in an Isolated space so if the file you receive is a key logger, You need no to worry because it won't affect your other programs, Firefox users can use the free version of key scrambler which encrypts each and every keystrokes you type, so even if a key logger is installed in your computer, You need not to worry as the attacker will receive the encrypted keystroke

    Which Key logger is the best?

    With my experience of more than 2 years in the field of Ethical Hacking and security I suggest only two key loggers which I think are best and have a comparatively low antivirus detection rate:

    1.Sniperspy
    2.Winspy

    Winspy is really best becoz I m using from last 1years.

    How do I find if a file is binded with a key logger?

    Key logger can be binded with almost any file so how do you know if the file is binded?, You can use Bintext or Hex editor to find out, But Bintext and Hex editing method do not work effectively if the server is crypted so alternatively there is a great piece of software named as "Resource hacker" that can tell you if the file is binded or not.
