Power Spy provides you with a powerful monitoring solution, designed to help you keep an eye on the computer activity while you are away from the PC. Commonly known as a keylogger, this type of application can record visited webpages, clipboard entries, used programs and typed keystrokes.
When the 'Stealth mode' is activated, Power Spy is practically untraceable, since it does not appear in the Task Manager or in the 'Programs and Features' section of Control Panel. The only way to access it is to press the user-defined hot-key. Furthermore, it is password-protected, in order to prevent others from uninstalling it or terminating the process.
The main interface of Power Spy is very similar to the Windows 8 Start Screen, with all the options displayed as tiles. It provides fast access to all the recorded logs and enables you to start computer monitoring or configure the application behavior.
One of the advantages of Power Spy is that it is fully customizable, enabling you to select the items you want to log and exclude the ones you don't need. It can secretly log the typed keystrokes, the list of accessed websites, the read e-mail messages, Internet searchers, opened documents or executed applications.
Chat and instant messaging conversations are also recorded. All the popular IM clients are supported, including Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, AOL, MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, ICQ or Skype. The application can also be used as a surveillance camera, since you can set it to periodically take desktop screenshots and save them locally.
The log reports can be accessed directly from the monitored computer, exported to the hard disk, uploaded to a FTP server or sent to you via email.
Power Spy is easy to use and provides you with a wide range of information. It comes in handy for any parent who needs to protect their children during computer sessions, enabling them to prevent access to dangerous webpages or innapropriate online content.
