In order to capture system-wide keyboard activity special Windows Hooks must be used. This involves injecting code into memory of every running process. Such activity can be considered suspicious by some anti-virus software and there is not surprise about it. This is the only way for doing this job and any software based activity monitoring tools have to use this method, making it easy to detect for anti-virus software.
