A Keylogger is a program that allows you to secretly record keystrokes made on the computer keyboard and, therefore, to keep track of everything that is written and the keys that are pressed, saving it on text files.
KeyLoggers are full-fledged viruses if they are hidden processes that send spy recordings to hackers with bad intentions, but they can also be useful tools to spy on PC activities, for example to know what their children are doing on the internet, or to monitor what your employees are doing in the office or, if you look suspiciously at your spouse's online activities.
In this article we see how to install a secure KeyLogger program to spy on a PC, which records everything that is typed on the PC keyboard.
The ones described below are the best free keyloggers, which are not detected as malware or viruses by the antivirus (or at least not by Windows Defender), which have no hidden processes that communicate the recorded data to someone remotely and have an installer easy to use.

1) Spyrix Keylogger, to which I had already dedicated an article, is a program that can be used for free as a basic Keylogger to spy on your PC, even without paying for all its concealment features.
Its use is absolutely safe, because it does not connect to the Internet and there will be no danger that the recorded data will end up outside.
To download it, however, you must use a browser that does not prevent the download of the installation file which is, rightly, seen as harmful (because it is a program that acts like a virus).
So, after download and installation, we have a small tool in front of us that records all the keys pressed on the computer keyboard, whether you type or press at random.
Even if the app icon is located on the Windows taskbar, you can remove it manually via the settings in the Windows taskbar.
To call it up and see which keys have been pressed, just press the key combination CTRL + ALT + A.
The app has several extra features, including automatic screenshots, taking photos from the webcam and recording items copied to the clipboard with copy and paste.
You can also receive log files via email if you are spying on another person's computer.
2) Revealer Keylogger can be downloaded and installed on Windows in a free version and allows you to spy on your PC by recording everything that is typed.
Like Spyrix, the app icon is located in the system tray to allow anyone to see it running if you don't remove it via the Windows notification bar settings.
Through a Stealth option in the settings it is possible to hide the KeyLogger from the Windows task manager, from Windows Explorer and from the list of items in automatic start.
To call up the main screen, the CTRL + ALT + F9 keys can be pressed together.
Revealer Keylogger can also take screenshots while it is running to see the spied computer screen.
You can also configure the sending of registrations via email, even if you have to trust that the email only reaches us and not to others.
3) StupidKeylogger is a small tool that spies on your PC while remaining completely hidden.
It is practically impossible for anyone to find, it leaves no traces in the start menu; it does not appear among the applications to be removed in " Programs and Features " and does not show any icon in the system tray to indicate its existence.
To install this Keylogger just unzip the contents of the downloaded archive, then run the " Infect.bat " file.
To view the recordings, you can run the CollectData.bat file "to create the log file and then with" RecordDecoder.exe "you can decode it.
In the end you get a gigantic text file with all keystrokes pressed and mouse clicks.
4) Hooker KeyLogger is a practically invisible keylogger that remains running without being noticed.
The program captures all keystrokes on the keyboard and also intercepts symbols and special characters by saving a log file.
This keystroke logger is also capable of recording all the websites visited by users and can be hidden from view.
Everything that is recorded is saved in a text file which can be read by the simple text interface.
5) Best Free Keylogger, is a program that can be downloaded in a free version and installed on your PC to be spied on easily.
The best feature of this spy software is its very clear and uncluttered management interface, which allows you to filter the recorded data, the keys, the screenshots and all the activities of the controlled computer without having to strain.
