O.P. Any way to see what friends are typing before they press enter?
Is there a plugin ( or is it even legal) to see what someone is typing to you before they actually press send? If not is anybody in the workings with this?

A keylogger is a type of surveillance software (considered to be either software or spyware) that has the capability to record every keystroke you make to a log file (usually encrypted). A keylogger recorder can record instant messages, e-mail, and any information you type at any time using your keyboard. The log file created by the keylogger can then be sent to a specified receiver. Some keylogger programs will also record any e-mail addresses you use and Web site URLs you visit.
Keyloggers, as a surveillance tool, are often used by employers to ensure employees use work computers for business purposes only. Unfortunately, keyloggers can also be embedded in spyware allowing your information to be transmitted to an unknown third party.

Keylogging isn't illegal per se: it's only illegal if it's used to invade privacy. When you think about it, Internet Explorer's AutoComplete is a sort-of keylogger, and that's perfectly legal (you can turn it off).
