I wrote a blatantly brazen keylogger using only the Windows C API and almost no anti-virus flagged it as malicious?

Post Body

I compiled it and checked it worked, doesn't even need elevated permissions which is great. Thought I'd throw it up on Virus Total to see what would happen.

Out of the 4 that flagged it as malicious, only one of them actually picked up that it was a keylogger. I was pretty astounded that the other 70 didn't see it as malicious in any way whatsoever?

I'm fairly new to hacking so excuse my ignorance, but I thought it would get flagged by almost every AV haha. (My background is software engineering, so putting this together wasn't too difficult despite my newbieness).
