Brief Description

AKeyLogger is a hacking tool. Though these programs are legitimate and useful tools when they are appropriately used, a hacker could take advantage of them in order to carry out malicious actions.

AKeyLogger logs the keystrokes typed by the user, which can be used to capture passwords or other kind of sensitive information. This would pose a threat to the user's confidentiality.

Then, the captured information can be sent via email.

Aditionally, it can be run in stealth mode, in order not to be visible in the System Tray.

 

AKeyLogger does not pose a risk by itself, but it can be used with malicious intentions.
