Okay, humor me here. Wouldn't a keystroke grabber require:

- compromising my computer to install the grabber
- avoiding detection by my various and sundry malware detectors
- sending data back to you without being noticed by ZoneAlarm or some other firewall?

Think hardware. You can buy a device that slips between the computer and the keyboard cable allowing capture of thousands of key strokes. Of course, physical security in the home usually means never leaving your computer alone with a stranger and keeping your doors and windows locked. In the office that isn't always possible however...
