Using a keylogger

Recently, people seem to have gotten a very bad impression of keyloggers. However, like any other tool, it can be used either legitimately or by criminals. Of course, someone might use a keylogger to spy on you, but that's why you have antivirus and a spyware scanner.

Similarly, a car that you use to take you safely somewhere, could just as easily be used by a criminal as a getaway car. This is hardly a good thing, but it doesn't stop you using a car, does it? As a matter of fact, keyloggers, like cars, can be used for a number of legitimate purposes.

For example, if you are worried about your children, you can use a keylogger to protect them. The program will watch them automatically, catching everything they do, so you can see if they are doing anything dangerous. There are a lot of very bad people online, and with today's chat software it is easier then ever for them to attack your children over the internet. With the help of a keylogger, you can see this happening and take steps to stop it.

If you're not worried about your kids, a keylogger can still be useful in other family situations. To give you an example, you might be afraid your husband or wife is cheating on you with someone. A keylogger will give you an easy way to be sure. Just get it set up, and you'll immediately be able to determine if your suspicions are correct. And it will cost a lot less then a private eye would!

If there are no family issues to concern you, spy software is still an excellent device at work, too. You can keep an eye on what your employees are up to, and catch them immediately if they are wasting time on personal emails, or just web surfing, when they should be working. Much more importantly, though, you can spot leaks before they become a problem and prevent trade secrets from escaping.

Software like Secret Agent Spy (from http://secretagentsoftware.com/) make this an easy task. They are easy to use, no trouble to install, and allow you to start monitoring instantly. Just download the program, and install it on the computer you want to monitor.

The recent advancement of spy software, such as the aforementioned Secret Agent, has allowed a number of new developments to be made. For example, You can now not only record keystrokes, but every action the user makes. This is recorded as a video, which you can play back later, just like a DVD. And like a DVD, you can fast forward or rewind it, giving you an unprecedented level of control.

The standard stealth features that now come with programs such as this are, usually, enough to stop anyone from knowing it's running in the background. Combine this with the ability to email the records, without you ever having to access the computer yourself, and it becomes extremely unlikely that anyone will discover it. Even if someone were, somehow, to find the program, there is no way they could know who installed it, because any good program uses password protection.

In the end, if you are worried at all (or perhaps just curious) you should definitely get a keylogger. Even the most basic will be a big help to you, and the more advanced, modern programs have a host of additional features. The best thing to do is to think up a list of everything you want it to do, and then shop around until you find something that meets your specifications. Be sure to ask for advice in forums, and check out review sites. Where your peace of mind is at stake, don't settle for anything less then the best.
