Key Logging Software Usage Growing
PC Monitoring Software Category Most Visited In 2003

1/20/04 - The "Key Logging Software" sub-category was the most visited area of the Spy Tools Directory in 2003, the website announced today, beating out more traditional investigation categories such as "Surveillance Equipment".

"Programs such as the ones offered by our featured partner site Key Logging Software.com (http://www.key-logging-software.com) allow users to monitor all PC activity, making sure that their computers are not being used for unauthorized purposes," says Steve Salm, lead editor. "This type of software is very useful to employers, law enforcement agencies, private investigators, and even parents."

Key logging programs are used to record all keystrokes made on a PC, and save the data to a hidden file where it can be viewed at a later time. Advanced features of these programs allows all actions on a PC to be recorded, including chat sessions, emails, or even screen captures of activities as they occur. A standard feature of any key logging software program is its ability to run in a "stealth" mode, meaning that only the person who installed it knows its running on the PC.

"It's one of the best ways to gather evidence," says Salm. "Whether it's to find out who your kids were chatting with on the computer last night, see what secret emails an unfaithful spouse is writing, or make sure an employee isn't surfing the internet on company time, these programs offer an amazing way to get that information easily."
