I for one, won't give out such code as it can be used for the wrong reasons. Also, I don't think that anti-viruses use key-loggers as it might be considered a violation of user privacy, especially with E-Mails. A key-logger basically takes the input from the keyboard and writes it to a file. This is done in secrecy. The owner of the key-logger can then open the log and determine what he/she entered.

asks how to make emailing keylogger

says it's for anti virus software

That's not suspicious.

Do you know any coding at all?

BS.

Again. BS.

My friend, there are very few uses for the keylogger that I made that are not malicious. I have better morals than most and still I have difficulty with such power.

If you want to "learn" than I'll teach you the wrong method.

In windows.h there's a nice little function GetAsyncKeyState(VK_KeyCode); that tells you the current state of a given key. You can use this function for the most useless and easily detectable keylogger possible. I'll not say any more than that. Do what you will, google will teach you what you want. And stop lying.

I suspect you are just another skid because you just ask for complete source-code for keylogger. You didn't ask for reference, or a problem solution or help with some function. And btw, you're definitely lying when you say : "I won't use it for bad deeds, just to learn".

I'm not questioning this statement's veracity, but I did find it amusing to read :)

May you explain why you would need a keylogger for an antivirus? Why do you want to make an a antivirus software when free ones like Microsoft Security Essentials and AVG exists? You might find others with "better moral than most" that can provide code if you google.
