I found this [Keystroke Logger](http://pulse.whatnet.org/index.php), thru another forum, that tells you how many keystrokes you’ve performed since you installed it. It was already proven that it’s not keylogger, you don’t have to worry about it stealing your passwords and SNs.

And I would’ve formed a team SDMB, but I keep screwing it up. Perhaps somebody could help me out?

Not to be overly paranoid (though I am), and not to be overly lazy (I refer to my former statement), but are there links that prove this isn’t a keylogger? Because, really, how good an idea is it to install something called “keystroke logger” on your computer?
