That is, until they physically connect to your machine somehow and download the log.
Really, though, I'd say there's not much privacy left these days anyway.

Until 1999 you could (in the corporate State of Colorado anyway) directly file a criminal complaint and it would be reviewed by the District Attorney's office. Fine. The point is that it would already be filed into the county court as a
criminal complaint.
Now you can only file a civil complaint (against Dell). The DA can review it and decide whether or not he will get involved; or just leave you there trying to settle with Dell over it, argueing with the finest Dell can afford.
This Resignation of Judiciary was the administrative process exhausted over the theft of my motorscooter in 2000, just after the statute was repealed. The clerk of court was not yet familiar with the repealed statute but was advised by the Attorney General not to entertain the theft as a criminal matter. When the clerk moved my court to rescind the Notice of Resignation of Judiciary the attorneys issued a verbal gag order for him to never file papers with my clerk (county clerk and recorder) again.
If any of you understand that administrative remedy and are typically "in the System" as citizens of the US and voters or whatever, should you find a device like this in your computer you might document the keylogger with a couple witnesses and file a civil suit against Dell. Word it with violation of criminal statutes and hand-deliver a copy of the filing to the DA or Attorney General's office. If you are running a court of competent jurisdiction, the failure to act once Information is properly served, is valid testimony ripe for Judgment.
