A keylogger isn't magic. Do you know what a keylogger
is/does?

I have to ask: did you ever click on a link she sent to
you? Did you ever visit a Web site she sent you to by
clicking on a link? Did you run a virus scan? Do you have
a firewall like ZoneAlarm on your computer? Please give
details so you can help us help you.

In any case, with such little information, I only guess
that this person somehow installed a backdoor and/or a
Trojan and/or a keylogger to your computer, but again,
it's only a guess based on what little you have given
us/me.
