    The keylogger can theoretically reside in a malware hypervisor running underneath the operating system. A hardware key logger is a small piece of hardware which is usually inserted between the keyboard port and the keyboard.A keylogger program does not require physical access to the user's computer.

    Keyloggers may record all keystrokes, or they may be sophisticated enough to monitor for specific activity. A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer's keyboard.

    Another type of hardware keylogger is preinstalled inside the keyboard itself on the circuit board. This device is undetectable barring disassembly of the keyboard, but does require replacing the existing keyboard.Key logger software invisibly records keystrokes of every user activity performed on the computer in encrypted log files with option to send the details at specified email id.
