What is a key logger, snap shot monitor? Key logger software is a program, which causes every keystroke made on the computer to be recorded. The program can remain completely undetected and is usually initiated when the computer is turned on. The key logger records everything outgoing to include emails, documents, login names, passwords, and credit card numbers etc. Some key loggers offer the option to send the key log file to a remote email address in sleath mode. Snap Shot Monitors take a screen shot of computer activity, generally at a user defined set interval. Some advanced key loggers offer this option as well as capturing key strokes.

CrappyMalwhere - is really malware
Sometimes I act against my own best intentions and take shortcuts. I could have checked this program out before I installed it but I figured I could undo any changes it made because I use Total Uninstall and I also have good antivirus and antispyware shields. I installed it and my protection softwares were all screaming "kill it!". It took me 2 hours to remove everything this program installed. Most of it seems harmless but they don't tell you about all the junk in it on the website. It had toolbars, bho's, search redirections, and something that acted like a trojan all in this neat little package.

Quote from the website http://www.malwhere.com/ ( I recommend you do not download it )

Does your computer run slow or crash from time to time? If so then there might be a malicious process running on your system without you knowing about it. A process is a single executable module that runs concurrently with other executable modules, most of the processes that run on your computer are valid software that you installed, but many times its not. A Process can be a virus, Trojan or a spyware, MalWhere identifies each process and gives you information about it.:
