The hidden power of keyloggers

Computers and the Internet have opened up a whole new world of mischief for children and teenagers. In addition to those online predators lurking in chat rooms, there are many other ways kids can get into trouble online. Meeting unsavory characters in online role playing games, getting bullied via email, or having profanity laced IM sessions with the kid across the street are just some of the ways kids can run afoul of the family rules. Most parents have trouble checking the browser history, so it can be challenging to keep tabs on what your kids are doing online and who they are doing it with. That's where a keylogger comes in. A Keylogger is a program which captures all the keystrokes surreptitiously and saves them to a file. You check back later and look through the file for any suspicious activity. If you find it, you dole out the consequences for your child, empowered by your new found mastery of technology. And your kid thought you were clueless when it came to the family PC! Spector Pro by SpectorSoft is a keylogger that even records MySpace activity, and we all know what goes on there. Keep your child safe online by using a keylogger and stepping in when they step over the line.
