    IMHO the problem with software based logging is that virus scanners could be
    updated and you could have one seriously ticked off user on your hands.
    
    If you can find one that is not currently scanned for, and the particular
    user is not liable to turn it back on, you should disable definition updates
    while the logger is running.
    
    Or... if possible, and the particular user is not liable to be poking around
    the back of the machine or 'rearranging the furniture', then a hardware
    logger is the way to go. http://www.codexdatasystems.com/keykatch.html
