Keylogger

Keylogger for Windows.

Project Outlines

The project outlines as described in my blog post about Open Source Software Collaboration.

• The one and only purpose of this software is to log keystrokes under Windows operating system.
• Since this keylogger already has all its features please do not request new features. It's designed by the Unix philosophy: Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
