Back in the old-skool days of MS-DOS and Windows 3.0 a keylogger did exactly what its name implied – logged pressed keystrokes. Sometimes this happened stealthily, sometimes not. These days though, the days of Facebook, Youtube, Digital Cameras,Webcams and Emails, the requirements of a keylogger have evolved with the technology it’s meant to monitor.

Today,  keylogger would only paint half a picture of someones computer activity and because of this the name ‘Keylogger’ has progressed to become ‘Computer Monitoring Software’. Through the internet, you can access a whole range of computer monitoring software and keyloggers, some are malicious, some aren’t, but they usually encompass a range of standard features.
