What is keylogger software?

Keylogger software is a small program that records every keystroke on a computer. these are computer-monitoring programs that run undetected and record computer activities. While the most basic type of keystroke logger might record, every keystroke made on a computer there might be no way to tell what program it was typed into and there would be no way to know what websites were surfed. On the other hand, today’s keylogger software is far from basic and though it still has the keystroke logger feature, the new programs have expanded to allow monitoring of all activities- even controlling the computer remotely.

Often it is impossible to know exactly what children are doing on the internet. While they may use it for entertainment they can also be lured by predators in chat rooms, receive inappropriate emails and even view inappropriate sites.

Filters have certain limitations and often filter desirable as well as undesirable sites and there is no protection against predators or misuse of chat programs.

Keylogger software can monitor a child’s activities on the internet without overt interference by the parents, or filter programs, which they may find a way to override. a small keystroke logger program is virtually undetectable and eliminates the guesswork about what a child is doing on the internet.

Similarly, a person who suspects their spouse of having an affair may well choose to install keylogging software on the computer to monitor emails and chats discretely. this is particularly important if they only suspect their girlfriend our spouse but have no firm basis for suspicions.
