When you hear about a keylogger anywhere around runescape theres a high chance it's for a malicious purpose.

A keylogger is software that is executed on the "victims" (on who is getting keylogged) computer.

This software will record keystrokes and window titles. For example part of a log might look like this.

[---- New Tab - Google Chrome (4:11:58 PM) ----]

You can see the user made a new tab in chrome and started to type facebook.

Doesn't necessarily mean he has to know about literally anything that could happen with PCs.

Here's your answer.

Spoiler

A keylogger, sometimes called a keystroke logger, key logger, or system monitor, is a hardware device or small program that monitors each keystroke a user types on a specific computer's keyboard.

A keylogger program does not require physical access to the user's computer. It can be downloaded on purpose by someone who wants to monitor activity on a particular computer or it can be downloaded unwittingly as spyware and executed as part of a rootkit or remote administration (RAT) Trojan horse. A keylogger program typically consists of two files that get installed in the same directory: a dynamic link library (DLL) file (which does all the recording) and an executable file (.EXE) that installs the DLL file and triggers it to work. The keylogger program records each keystroke the user types and uploads the information over the Internet periodically to whoever installed the program.

You get the logs sent to you via email or uploaded to your own webhost.
Download or create one. Use Google. Spread it. Use Google. Get logs. Smiley face. Make bank.
