Similarly, Tom, I don't know what a keystroke logger is.

A keystroke logger uses a program hidden on your computer to record your keystrokes and send them to someone else. They will essentially record anything you type, including identifying information, credit card info, passwords and personal messages. Your secrets are theirs. Your accounts are compromised. Doubleplus uncool.
Not all doubleplus uncool web activity is embedded in spam. You gotta watch all of it, even those that seem to come from friends and confidants.
