Using a keylogger

By: Dan Smith

A lot of people are under the impression that keyloggers are of use only to criminals. The media hype surrounding hackers, and in particular identity theft, is primarily to blame for this. But as you know, the media always exaggerates for effect, no less so in this case.

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.

As an example, you may have noticed that the internet is an increasingly dangerous place for children. Well, with a keylogger, you can simply and easily keep an eye on what they're up to. There are a lot of bad people online, and being able to know, almost instantly, if your children are in danger is a huge help to any worried parent. A keylogger will do this, so that you can relax and stop thinking about the danger your kids may be facing online.

Even if you aren't worried about what your kids are up to, a keylogger is a useful tool in any family matters. For example, maybe you are worried that your partner is cheating on you. Well, a keylogger provides an easy way to find out! Just set it up, and it will give you immediate knowledge of who your partner talks to, and what they talk about. Much less hassle then a private eye.

Even if you are not worried about a cheating husband/cheating wife, spy software such as a keylogger provides an excellent tool to help at work as well. You can watch what your employees are doing as they are doing it, and instantly catch them slacking! More importantly, with a way to monitor activity, you can detect and plug trade secret leaks before they become a problem.

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.

As a matter of fact, the recent development of software such as Secret Agent Software has advanced to the point where you can not just follow what the user is typing, but also capture screenshots and even record video of what they are doing. You can then play back their activities like a DVD, even being able to fast forward or rewind.

The stealth options that now come as standard with programs like this prevent anyone from discovering it is installed, and the ability to automatically email the results of the monitoring to an email address of your choice make plausible deniability easier then ever. No-one will find the program, and even if they did, its password protected so they could never use it!

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.
