I’m a techtard.

As always, I read down the thread and find my question answered. Sorry! (I do it all too often.)

They’re essentially a ghost in your machine that catches every keystroke you make on your keyboard. Including but not limited to passwords and those little notepad notes you make to yourself on your home pc.

If you type a word document they catch that too. Even if you’re not on the internet they likely set it up to download that info when you do connect.

It means your pc is a spy.

(3rd amendment anyone?)
