    Oh yes, infowars.com.

    I would start by mentioning that you should really take that site with a
    towering pillar, rather than just a pinch, of salt.

    Of course, that's because I'm an Englishman, and as the people at InfoWars
    will tell you, that makes me a foreign agent intent on overthrowing the
    order of things in the US, under orders from the Queen, who is personally in
    charge of the drug trade in the US.

    It's a boat-load of garbage.

    As usual with the rumours, your best bet to start with is Snopes. Sure
    enough, I go there and search for "Keylogger" and I find:

    Read and enjoy. Many of the other articles are even more amusing. Amazing
    what some people will believe.

    Alun.
