The akl_svc.exe file is called Anti-Keylogger Service or PrivacyKeyboard Service after the name of its associated software, AntiKeylogger or PrivacyKeyboard. This software was created by Global Information Technology based in the UK. AntiKeylogger software is designed specifically to immobilize keyloggers that may pose threat to the privacy of a user and his computer system. Anti-keyloggers like this software are not only used by individual users but also by companies or businesses to keep their confidential information safe and secure from keyloggers and hackers. An anti-keylogger installed on a user’s computer should be run at a regular basis to make sure there are no keyloggers on the system especially when the computer is used for storing data that are of high security risk. Some keyloggers hide themselves in the computer system by pretending to be another file under the same file name so users can do random scanning of the computer at unexpected intervals.
