Windows Spy Keylogger

If you need to monitor someone's activity on a computer and you do not intend to do this actively, you can always turn to one of the many keylogging and monitoring applications out there.

One such application is Windows Spy Keylogger, a user-friendly software solution that comes with a minimalist approach to the concept of keeping track of one's keystroke activity.

As is the case with other similar utilities of this sort, the app in question basically records all keystrokes and saves them in simple text files, as logs.

Subsequent to its installation, things become very clear that this is not a complicated app, mainly thanks to a straightforward main window that offers you a quick way to turn the monitoring feature on or off.

If you are expecting more, then you should know that you can also access its Settings window, but look for more than that, and you may find yourself disappointed. Within the previously mentioned window, you can set up the app to automatically run at system startup or to choose the location for the report (log) file.

Start fiddling with the app, and you are bound to discover that Windows Spy Keylogger is not what you would call a very unobtrusive app. Sure, you can start the logging process and turn the application off, rendering it somewhat "invisible,” but a quick search using the Task Manager can easily reveal its ongoing process.

Not only that, but the main window of the app can be just as easily accessed by almost anyone. The app would benefit greatly from a feature that would allow it to be summoned via a special hotkey combination or at least after a password is typed.

Not to beat around the bush, but we would say that, in order for this app to be as efficient as possible, it should at least come with options to hide its log files and, most evidently, make it undetectable by the Task Manager.

In a time when developers behind most other apps of this sort struggle to find innovative ways of making their creations more efficient and as hard to detect as possible, we are afraid that Windows Spy Keylogger's name does not speak for itself, making especially the “Spy” part a bit of a stretch.

If you are looking for a no muss, no fuss software solution for keylogging and for monitoring the activity on your computer or other computers, then you can give Windows Spy Keylogger a quick try-out.
