AllSpyMonitor 3.29

Do you share your computer with your significant other and you would like to know what she does while using it? Do you have a child and would like to keep an eye on what he does online all day long? Do you have your own company and would like to know what your employees are doing while your are not around? If you answered “Yes” to at least one of those questions, then you need a computer usage monitoring application.

What you need is the AllSpyMonitor application. This application will perform several tasks that will come in handy for your computer usage monitoring endeavor. First up, the application will record all keys a user presses – in much the same manner a keylogger does. This way you will see everything the user typed.

The application also records usernames and passwords entered by the user, applications the user launches, conversations the user has with other people (via applications like Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and so on), and websites the user visited.

You will be able to see other things as well. AllSpyMonitor will take a screen snapshot at specific intervals of time. This way you will be able to see whatever was displayed on the monitor at the time - it’s like being right there next to the user. But you’re not right there, which is the great part. The user doesn’t now you’re monitoring him or her. Speaking of which, you should know that AllSpyMonitor can send everything it logs to your email address. This way you can monitor computer usage from wherever you are. Simply access your inbox and see what AllSpyMonitor sent you.

The monitored user will have a hard time picking up on the fact that AllSpyMonitor is watching. This is because AllSpyMonitor does not appear in Add/Remove Programs, does not appear in the Start menu, doesn’t put an icon or shortcut on the screen or anywhere else. Even if the user picks up on AllSpyMonitor, the user will never be able to shut the application down because it is password protected. Access to AllSpyMonitor is granted only to the person who knows the password – that would be you and only you.

The bottom line is that AllSpyMonitor is an easy to use monitoring application that will help you keep an eye your child, spouse or employees. It will record everything the user does on the computer.
