Key Loggers

Key Loggers are the best choice you got if you want to know what others are doing on your own computer while you are not at home (or office). Key loggers record each key stroke from the keyboard from login till the time one logoff. Some key loggers even take snapshot or video of the desktop in certain interval of time so that it would be easy for you to monitor.

The purpose key loggers were built were for monitoring you computer usage when you are away but people are using them for wrong purpose such hacking password of their account. Since many key loggers start in stealth mode right after being logged on, people fall into the trap and give out their passwords. This is in a kind a very big crime. If in cyber, the owner starts keeping Key Logger, then they can easily get the customer’s mail box, bank account and other passwords. Then can even read their mail like this.

There are several kinds of key loggers available. Few that I’ve used are Golden Keylogger, Family KeyLogger, IOPUS and Remote KeyLogger.
