How to Monitor a Computer With a Keylogger?

If you're familiar with keyloggers you'll know that the term comes from a time when logging keystrokes was the only function that was necessary. Keyloggers were first developed in the days of Microsoft DOS, but as computers have improved and evolved, the keylogger software has had to improve and evolve with them. As more and more features were added to the development of these types of programs the term keylogger was replaced with the more descriptive name, Computer Monitoring Software.

Where keyloggers could only monitor keystrokes, Computer Monitoring Software can monitor almost anything you can think of. Not only that, the software works in complete stealth, meaning you can monitor a computer and see the results without the target user knowing. Whether you need the users password for their email, or simply want to see what your kids are up to while you're away, Computer Monitoring Software can help.

Monitoring applications can be downloaded and installed in a few clicks of your mouse, and set up in a few more. Once they are set up they'll run in the background (even when the computer has been restarted) secretly logging everything the user does. You can then either log back into the software using a secret key combo and password, or have the logs emailed to you so you can look through them safely away from the target computer.

So what exactly can computer monitoring software monitor? Well, firstly they will capture screenshots of exactly what the user is looking at on screen. These can be captured either at a certain time interval (set by you) or whenever a new website is visited or a new application is opened. Most programs are highly customizable, so the exact details of the monitoring are up to you.

The screenshots will be labelled with the name of application or website and the time and date it was captured. Applications and websites will also have sections of their own. Any websites used or applications opened will be listed, again with the time and date of use or visit. All keystrokes typed will also be logged, along with the name of application or website they were typed into. All documents of files opened or used will also be logged (as well as if they are deleted/moved/edited etc). Additional features include features like printed documents and clipboard monitoring.

As you can see, the humble keylogger has evolved into something that is pretty comprehensive. These features combined mean that anything could be monitored, from time on facebook and emails sent to time typing documents and account passwords. Most developers include similar features in their software but they will always differ slightly.
