The original question from asked about creating a keylogger in Visual Basic. Replies from and rightly point out that asking for help to build covert keystroke-capture tools raises serious legal and ethical issues. Recording other people�s keystrokes without clear, informed consent is harmful and often illegal.

For learning Visual Basic and safe input handling, a practical path is: install Visual Studio Community, study Visual Basic fundamentals and event-driven programming, then practise handling keyboard events inside an application (these capture input only when the app has focus). Official Microsoft resources are a good starting point: Visual Studio Community, Visual Basic documentation, and the Windows Forms keyboard event reference (Control.KeyDown/KeyPress) at Control.KeyDown. Global/system-wide keystroke capture or instructions to build covert loggers are not appropriate to provide here.

Safe beginner projects that teach the same concepts include a simple text editor, a user-consented hotkey launcher, or an accessibility typing aid. Security or malware research belongs in controlled labs (use isolated virtual machines such as VirtualBox) and under formal, ethical guidance (see resources like OWASP for responsible learning). For focused, legitimate VB help, this topic is better placed in a Visual Basic forum with a clear, consent-based project description.

Wrong forum! How naive has someone to be to ask in a serious forum how to programme malware?

Three simple steps:

1. Have enough brainpower to know that you ask VB questions in the VB forum.

2. Don't ask for help doing such nefarious things on upstanding forums like Daniweb. Instead, scourge the underbelly of the internet for the brain-dead l337 h4xxors who would be more than happy to help you. Actually that's a lie, be prepared for elitism.

3. Finally, figure out that you're going to have to do this on your own. Spend days as a shut in, eliminating all social contact and becoming depressed in the process as you hack together the world's most average keylogger. And then throw it away.
