    key loggers

    It may seem like i am asking you guys to write a whole program for me, however I am not, just fyi. How does a keylogger work? i dont understand how the program could continue receiving characters when it loses focus.

    It doesnt....therefore you use an API (assuming Windows) like SetWindowsHookEx().....or a more lowlevel method
