Advanced SpyMyPC Keylogger logs all keystrokes, applications and Websites visited on a computer. You can receive reports via e-mail. An easy and cost-effective way to monitor your kid`s or employee activities.

Pros: SpyMyPC PRO Keylogger is a multifunctional keylogger. It is a desktop security monitoring solution that records all keystrokes in the Windows operating system environment. It allows you to secretly record the activities on a PC without the user ever being aware of it. It has an advanced stealth mode feature to prevent users and/or programs from detecting and disabling it. The program name would not appear in any of the Add/Remove Programs, Start menu, Applications and Windows Task Manager, Desktop Taskbar, System Tray, and Windows Explorer. Only a secret key combination will make it visible. So that no one can disable it and prevent recording of activities. If you are concerned with your child’s safety or want to find out if your employee is goofing off on company time this could be a good tool to track their activity on-line as this application records websites visited too. Keystroke/password logging logs the keystrokes including hidden system keys and in which window they were pressed. Two sided chats can be recorded and all this logs can be filtered by date to ease tracking.

Logs can be arranged to be e-mailed to a specific address periodically and the application has an invisible e-mail engine to facilitate that. Thus even when you are away you know exactly who’s doing what on the machine. Logs can also be exported to HTML and read later from a folder meant for recording the logs.

Cons: While there’s justification for doing this, one question is should it be done? Another angle is if the program can send e-mails to you it can equally easily send the key logs to another address too. One does need to be careful.

Overall: It does its job well has an easy interface and is rated for an very good 3 star level.
