A person with even a basic knowledge of computers can also use keylogger.Once a keylogger is installed in your computer it can monitor each and every keystroke typed on your computer through keyboard, thus you can see how dangerous a keylogger can be.
There are two types of Keyloggers:
1: Software keylogger
A Software keylogger is a small program which is used to monitor a local or a Remote PC. A software keylogger program does not require physical access to the user's computer. It can be downloaded on purpose by someone who wants to monitor activity on a particular computer. Software Keylogger also provide remote installation support, using remote installation, you can monitor any computer anywhere in the World.
2: Hardware keylogger
Hardware keyloggers are rarely used now a days since you can monitor a Remote computer.
Can the victim detect it's presence once keylogger is installed in his/her computer?
Well it's really difficult for the victim to detect keylogger's presence as it runs in complete stealth mode, It hides it self from task manager, startup etc. But remember one thing, computer experts can easily detect it's presence after keylogger is installed in victim computer.
How can I protect my self from keylogger?
Normal or simple keyloggers can be detected by even a simple antivirus also, but sometimes the attacker use Crypting,Binding,Hexing technique to make keylogger file undectable to antivirus etc, that make it harder for the Antivirus to detect the keylogger server file.
So to counter that type of attack you should use a software called sandboxie of VMware, Sandboxie runs the choosen computer program in an Isolated space so if the file you receive is a keylogger, You need no to worry because it won't affect your other programs, So you need not to worry as the attacker will receive the encrypted keystroke.
Can I the victim trace you back?
Once the keylogger is installed in victim computer, I think it's almost impossible for the victim to trace you back.
Which Keyloggers are best and Undectable?
As per my experience of more than 3 years in the field of Security and Ethical Hacking, I can suggest you only two keyloggers which are 99% FUD ( Fully Undectable) thats why most of the antivirus cant detect it easily.
