Being a typical key logger, SnapKey can every keystroke you type with your keyboard. Although legitimate key loggers are mainly used to monitor children or employee internet activity and productivity, malicious keyloggers such as SnapKey may be used to steal usernames and passwords, bank account and credit card numbers. More advanced key loggers, SnapKey included, may also take screenshots of your computer activity, or monitor emails and online chatting, thus completely taking hold of your private and confidential information.
