This software is installed directly by the user wanting to perform the monitoring. Many times keylogger is confused with “spyware”, but actually they are different. keylogger allows you to legally monitor your children, spouse or employees, it often create reports for YOUR eyes, and can be loaded intentionally by the purchaser.
