Defining Keyloggers

A keylogger is a device that tracks every key that has been typed on the computer that you need to monitor. Most keyloggers will not categorize the keystrokes and they can be very difficult to understand, especially when someone is multi-tasking.

What do you mean?

For example, on any given day a child can have several chat conversations going on at the same time, when this happens the majority of the keystroke recorders on the market will jumble all of the keystrokes in to one place. So you may have all of the keystrokes typed, but you really do not have any idea what program it was typed in, who typed it and what time it happened.

Most keyloggers provide you with a vague idea of what may happen on the computer that you track, but it is not very helpful when you need to know exactly what they do in each conversation they have.

What about all of the other activity my children do online?

This is another thing that you need to take in to consideration, just because you have a basic keystroke tracker running, that does not mean that you have a full account of everything the children do on the computer.

As a parent, your primary concerns should be the following;

• Protect and educate your children with regards to Internet Safety.
• Keystroke Tracking
• Logging ALL Chat and Instant Messaging
• Record Incoming and Outgoing Email
• Monitor Web Sites Visited
• Investigate the Programs they are using
• Track the files they download

Wait, you just said that basic keyloggers would not provide that.

Correct, that is why we have written this article, we understand that parents need to have a flexible tracking tool that will record keystrokes, but ALSO record chat and instant messaging, Myspace activity, Email, Websites, programs that are being launched, and the files they download.

That is why we believe that Spector Pro is the tool that every parent should have installed on their computers. You will track all of the keystrokes typed because it has an advanced keylogger that separates all keys typed by application, time, and the Windows User that was typing it. This means that you will know if they were typing a book report in a word document, or if they were using Myspace Chat.

As powerful as their keylogger is, there are several other built in tracking tools that work under a revolutionary concept.

Please Explain...

This means that you will get the keystrokes typed, but with Spector Pro you do not need to rely on them for tracking chat, email, websites and so on. You just click on what you want to see.

Example

Lets say that you wanted to see the chat conversations that your child had, you simply click on the chat button and you will see every chat conversation that occurred on the computer that it is installed on. If they had a chat in Myspace, you will not only be able to locate it, but you will know exactly what they said, who they were talking to and what time it happened.

That kind of information has just as much value a keylogger does, so why use a program that only records keystrokes typed?

We believe that parents need to spend time with their children, especially when they are surfing the Internet, but we also understand that you cannot always be present when your child is online. Spector Pro helps to bridge that gap, by monitoring what your child does so that you can review this at a later time and educate them with regards to Internet Safety.

In closing, if you are a parent that would like to record keystrokes and everything else that your children do online, we suggest that you lean more about Spector Pro and all of the benefits it can provide to you.
