A Review Of The Best Keylogger Software

A keylogger is a program that serves to spy on a computer aiming to keep children safe online, catch an unfaithful spouse and prevent other kinds of trouble. It's impossible for keylogger software companies to meticulously explain their products. However, when a company does, you seldom read the extensive information anyways, because you don't have the time. This can cause you to misinterpret products or assume they possess features that don't. This review explains the best keylogger programs in a friendly manner, eliminating most mistaken assumptions you can make about them.

Spy Agent

Spy Agent is known as an all in one keylogger, for it contains nearly all the features a keylogger can possibly have. Spy Agent logs

-Keystrokes typed
-Websites visited
-Chat conversations
-Email sent and received
-Screenshots of user activities
-Online searches performed
-Applications opened and closed
-Internet connections made
-Files opened and printed
-Windows opened
-Internet traffic data
-Files uploaded and downloaded
-User total active/idle times

Spy agent runs on stealth mode and can send you the recorded data by e-mail or upload it to an FTP account for remote monitoring. But that's not all the power of Spy Agent. It can also block content for parental control purposes:

-Unwanted websites
-Specific programs and games
-Chat messenger usage
-Adult web content

Also, Spy Agent can send you instant behavior alerts via email when a user runs an unwanted website, chat client or application (it's best to simply block them); when the computer is started/shutdown; when keylogger detectors are installed; and when a user types a trigger keyword.

The all in one keylogger Spy agent is easy to configure thanks to its 5-step wizard. All its functions are tied into one easy to navigate window. The all in one keyloggeSpy Agent leaves behind many other keyloggers and all plain parental control software.

Aobo Mac OS X Keylogger

Aobo is an all in one keylogger pretty much like Spy Agent but serves to monitor a computer running Mac OS X. There're two versions of Aobo: standard and premium. The former doesn't records passwords but shows which application the keystrokes were typed in, while the latter records passwords but doesn't show which application the keystrokes were typed in. Like Spy Agent, Aobo can e-mail you the recorded data by e-mail or upload it to an FTP account for remote monitoring. Aobo is the best keylogger for Mac OS X.

Realtime Spy

Realtime Spy is purely aimed to monitor a computer remotely, containing the exclusive features of remote deployment and real-time monitoring. The rest of the features are similar to the all in one keylogger Spy Agent but Realtime Spy can't block content for parental control and rather than e-mailing or uploading by FTP the recorded data, it's uploaded to a private website provided by Realtime Spy.

I use this program to monitor my outsources (employees external to my firm, for those who're unfamiliar with the term).

Realtime Spy's interface is a facile wizard to create a remotely deployable file that you must send (by e-mail, instant messenger or whatever means) to the target computer. When the file is executed, Realtime Spy will install in the computer. You can deactivate or completely uninstall the program remotely at any time. If you wish to install Realtime Spy on your computer, you can run on your computer the file generated.

Cell Control

Cell Control is a keylogger for all old cell phones and on all Smart Phones running the Black Berry, IPhone, Android, Palm OS, Symbian OS and Windows Mobile operating system. Cell Control

-Spies on live calls
-Logs SMS
-Tracks GPS
-Logs e-mails
-Logs call history
-Logs call duration
-Spies on the phone's surroundings by activating the speaker when no call is being made
-Links corresponding contact names in the address book to calls/SMS
-Sends SIM change SMS notifications, searches and downloads all records
-Records websites browsed

A friend recently commented me that his girlfriend caught him cheating by spying on all his cell phone calls. Later, the girl told me she uses Cell Control, the best keylogger to spy on cell phones, to do that. While I was with her, she received a text message from Cell Control noticing her that my friend had received a call. She immediately called his phone and we were able to hear the whole live conversation.

Cell Control must be installed on your cell phone, not on the target phone. You then use your phone to make a call of at least thirty seconds to the target phone, during which your phone will work similar to a voiceband modem to discreetly pair with the target phone. From there on, the software will allow you to start spying on the target phone.

Your cell phone's details aren't registered on the target phone. A few time ago, I watched on the news that a family was harassed by having recordings of their calls constantly exhibited to them over the phone, and not even the FBI was able to trace the harasser.

Summary

Spy Agent and Aobo are all in one keylogger programs for local and remote monitoring, which can log computer activity and block content for parental control. Realtime Spy is mainly aimed at remote monitoring, containing the additional features of remote installation and real-time monitoring but doesn't contain parental control features. Cell Control is software to spy on mobile phones remotely.
