Seems like Kaspersky and McAfee are the only ones with competent naming
conventions.

He has full authority on his computer. If someone trusts him to not log
every input, it might just be unjustified.

For the very same reason, I'd never enter any credentials in a cyber café.

It's an invasion of privacy.

It's no different than renting a room to someone, then spying on them.

This is considered "Spyware" that contains a Keylogging component.

BTW:
From Symantec:

filename: pcacme.exe
machine: AVCAutomation:
result: This file is detected as Spyware.PCAcme.
