And one has to really appreciate the features of the ?Perfect Keylogger?

1. Stealth Mode. In this mode no icon is present in the taskbar and the keylogger is virtually hidden.
2. Remote Installation. The keylogger has a feature whereby it can attach to other programs and can be sent by e-mail to install on the remote PC in stealth mode. It will then send keystrokes, screenshots and websites visited to the attacker by e-mail or via FTP.
3. Smart Rename. This feature allows a user to rename all keylogger's executable files and registry entries.
