Some advice on how to install a keylogger please

I'm quite fond the world of viruses and spyware from a few weeks ago. 
 
The thing is that I would like to install a keylogger on my friend's computer, right now, but I am not sure if this is legal or not. Is this legal? 
 
I think it is legal because otherwise there wouldn't be this kind of software.
 
Anyway, I do not want that person to realize that i've installed a keylogger on her computer.

Hello there,
 
I just enrolled in a course on CMS at my school, which has Windows XP installed. I told them to please update this version of Windows because it is outdated and is potentially dangerous.
 
I need some advice. What do you think of this? I feel insecure and am about to cancel. Would you continue doing the course knowing that XP is dangerous?
