## Safe Use
Use it responsibly and with caution on your own personal computer. Keyloggers attract the attention of intelligent anti-viruses therefore avoid adding any suspicious code to it. To avoid raising red flags, here are a few tips:
- Avoid using timestamps, user or system variables (e.g., PC name, IP, mac-addresses).
- Avoid reading registery keys.
- Avoid start-up runs or self-copying.
- Avoid using random generators.

## Debugging
Everyone is welcome to raise ISSUES.
