Keep a record of who’s doing what on your PC

Are you worried about your kids using your computer unaccompanied? Want to find out what your housemates or partner is up to? Active Keylogger Home is designed with you in mind.

This application can be set up to run secretly in the background whenever your system is turned on, and keeps a record of keystrokes and web pages visited. This means that as well as seeing where people are going on the Web, you’ll also be able to pick out sensitive information, such as passwords.

Data is stored by date, and then actions are listed by time, so you can easily see when the computer has been in use. You can also set up email reports, so, for example, you could have emails sent to you at work with the keylog from Active Keylogger Home. Email options are flexible – you can set up email alerts which are sent every time the program is activated, and also set the app to email reports regularly.

With children, if supervision and parental locks are not enough, this is an easy way to see what they have been doing, but it’s not preventative at all. If you are worried that someone is using your system for things they shouldn’t, then Active Keylogger Home can at least give you proof.While Active Keylogger Home is pretty well hidden, the suspicious user might be able to find it, and the log reports are not the most user friendly for this type of program.

Active Keylogger is an effective way to spy on users of your computer, although its reports could be better presented.
