• How To Install A Keylogger

KidLogger is an absolutely free and open source user activity monitoring tool. Other than just logging keystrokes and clipboard, it can also record USB drives/files/folders usage, sound from microphone and taking screenshots including Skype videos. You’re able to set keywords as an alert during capture. The log files can either viewed locally or from your KidLogger’s online account. KidLogger can be installed on Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Symbian, BlackBerry and iOS.

Highster for iPhone and iPad keylogger can be installed remotely via Apple ID and password. Highster can be removed remotely at anytime. Highster runs 100% invisibly and cannot be detected by conventional means. Captures all call logs and references them to address book names.

KidLogger runs hidden in background but visible in task manager and explorer. There’s no hotkey or run command to launch the program so you’ll need to run the shortcut or from the executable file itself. KidLogger can be password protected.

4. BlackBox Express

BlackBox Express is a free security monitoring software that can be used as a keylogger. The way BlackBox works is slightly different compared to the rest on this list because it can monitor 1 local PC and up to 200 remote computers on the network. It can log keystrokes, web searches, ran programs, visited websites, email client programs, webmails, instant messaging chat programs and capture screenshots. Other than that, you can exclude the user that you don’t want to monitor on the computer. Alert notification and the ability to generate report that can be printed, saved as a HTML or emailed.

BlackBox Express runs as a service and hidden by default that does not show up in the taskbar nor display an icon at notification area. However you can still find the process in task manager and the only way to launch the program is from the shortcut or alternatively running the executable file from the unhidden program folder. Password protection is supported. You need to register for a free account to download the installer.

Download BlackBox Express

3. Spyrix Free Keylogger

Spyrix Free Keylogger is the free version of the paid Spyrix Personal Monitor. It is able to capture keystrokes, clipboard and take screenshots but advanced features such as social network & IM capture, visited webpages, log delivery and alerts are not available. When Spyrix is hidden, it can be launched with either a hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+A) or run command (runkey) and can be protected with a password.

Spyrix Free Keylogger has a lot of potential to take the higher spots if the capabilities of hiding itself are improved. Although Spyrix appears to be hidden from normal eyes, it can be easily spotted from the task manager with the process seen running as system user when hide in task manager option is checked. The program’s folder is not hidden as well.

2. G³ iSam

iSam is the free keylogger that’s packed with features such as the ability to capture keystrokes and take screenshots, set a hotkey (default T+G+Enter) to run the program, password protection (default 1234), automatic emailing log files, keywords marking, displaying banner to alert the user, scheduler, blocking URLs and exclusion filtering system.

The configuration window runs in full screen with a dark background with options that are not really that user friendly and requires a bit of usage and time to get used to. Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 must be installed before you can install iSam. Although the program is hidden when running, it shows up in task manager, program’s folder and uninstaller list.

Download G³ iSam

1. Actual Keylogger

Actual Keylogger used to be totally free but the current version has turned into a shareware with the program renamed to Actual Spy. Although the last freeware version 2.4 was released back in 2006, it worked perfectly when we tested it on our Windows 7 32-bit operating system. It can only capture keystrokes and allows you to access the program in two methods which is hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F7) and run command (akstart).

Out of all 9 free keyloggers mentioned above, Actual Keylogger has the strongest stealth features and runs totally invisible including during Windows startup. You won’t find the process in task manager, the program folder is hidden, shortcuts are removed, and it doesn’t show up in the Windows uninstallation list. As an additional security feature, Actual Keylogger can be password protected to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the program and log file. You can still download the free version of Actual Keylogger from CNET but make sure you click on the direct download link.

Hi. Do you happen to have another link for Actual Keylogger Free Version (because the link to CNET no longer works [it goes to a page but there is no such version on CNET search anymore]). Thank you. (btw great site. I remember coming here years ago… just recently crashed old hard drive and having to reinstall apps and since old ones some can’t find anymore, trying new ones) if I can. john

I’ve just tried Iwantsoft Free Keylogger, and I must say it is the absolute winner for me. It records literally everything, and it includes such professional features as website blocking, alerts, quick installer builder etc. It can even deliver your logs in 4 different ways. And it is REALLY free, the advanced options are NOT locked, unlike the other programs!

PS: You have an outdated version in your review. It’s already 5.0 on their website.

Which one is that? did not see that in the list. Is it called something else here?

I am looking for a keylogger that can be used on 2 computers, iPad, android and iPhone. Suggestions?

Which key logger will show u the most info, including screenshots, run invisibly, and do they encrypt encrypted emails and messages?

Reply

Raymond, thank you very much for the very good list. I know some of the keyloggers that you posted and have used them by myself.

I can recommend Refog Keylogger and also Actual Keylogger and Revealer Keylogger. All of those programms will help you and surelly can recommend it. However, allow me to mention Rymond: none of them are free. The Trialversion is FREE as with almost all programms. But they are not free.

The Keyloggers that I like most and that I did not find on this list are: Ardamax Keylogger on the one hand ( ardamax.com/ ), and also my all time favorite Wolfeye Keylogger ( .wolfeye.us/ ). Of course they also offer a trial version, and Wolfeye Keylogger gives you a real FREE version for one computer.

But the reason I recommend these is: they both run extremely stable and take very little system resources. And also for me they are very easy to use. Finally the support is awesome which I find very important too.

I hope this helps!

I’m about to download and try a 5 day free trial of spyrix personal monitor ( as free one is not invisible, so defeats the purpose!!)
My question is this: is it worth the money or are there equally good products for less cost?
Thank you

Reply

Do any of these product not get picked up by virus software, not cause glitches with the mouse, AND run completely undetected?

Reply

You can’t find a free keylogger that actually works without being picked up by antivirus software. Believe me, I tried a lot :) And most of the paid for keyloggers are detected too… I read so many claims about a keylogger being undetectable to antivirus programs and then through testing I found exactly the opposite to be true. The most undetected keylogger is Spytector, search on Google for it, but a bit pricey though.

“iSam is the free keylogger”
No, its not! It is free for 3 Days! It is not free software

Reply

It was free when the article was written…

Reply

I recommend Perfect Keylogger Lite as well

Reply

All are detectable by the antivurs, I recommend Spia Net Screen that until the moment is undetectable

Reply

I just need to know which keys are used the most when I clean the keyboard (tiny alcohol prep pads- don’t want to waste them on unused keys)…maybe a uv light or something.

Reply

Do any of these detect the virtual keyboard in windows?

Reply

Do any of these keyloggers report *how long* a key was pressed (in milliseconds)? I would like to see how long my keypresses vary from key to key. Example: I press ‘j’ for an average of 150ms, but I press ‘i’ for an average of 210ms.

Reply

May you can use this code for each key. And run while your computer is on.

$(captureInput).keydown(function(event){ //Press
startDOWNPress = (new Date()).getTime();
.
. //Codigo no util para el ejemplo
.
$(captureInput).keypress(function(event){ //KeepPress
startPressUP = (new Date()).getTime();
.
.//example code
.
$(captureInput).keyup(function(event){ //Release
startUPDOWN= (new Date()).getTime();

But to do that well, you would need an specific device. It is very difficult to measure the time you are pressing a key just by software, because this data is no relevant for keyboard function, just to repeat a key, so the interval measured is much longer than 1 milisecond.

However you can install an electronic signal capturer between your keyboard and your computer in order to get all electronic signals and sending time.

Reply

Are any of them runable with startup, aside being invisible ?

Reply

Well, would this record the typed in passwords in chrome or any other browser? I don’t think so

Reply

Why don’t you think so? These are keyloggers so if you type something into a browser, they will record it.

Reply

But in the password box?

Reply

Yes, a keylogger can detect what is written in the browser password box.

Reply

Flogger is password protected to hide the virus inside!

Reply

It’s a keylogger, do you think antivirus software is always going to ignore software like this?

Even though it is a keylogger, VirusTotal gives this a detection score of 8/63, and 7 of those are just guesses and not actual “detections”.

Cell Phone Keylogger Remote Install

i have an employee who consistently does not listen to me asking her to not run chat or live stream videos on her computer. She is now on our computer that has our financials on there; and I caught her again with live streaming on when I walked in. Im going to go over our employee handbook again, make her SIGN EACH paragraph and then put this on here. We’re a small non-profit, and to lose our financials would be the end of us. Yes, I do backup; but still – there’s no need for her to continue this. (I have to have solid proof of her continual lack of performing duties in order to bring this before my board for dismissal. Sad fact.)

Do these keyloggers show when the computer is turned on and when it goes dormant for a while (20 mins?) it shows computer closed? She comes in late when she knows im out and then fibs about it.) sigh…

Reply

Seems like your employee can’t follow simple instructions on the proper use of company equipment. You’ve advised her about it – I’d say it’s time to start looking for a replacement. Bonus points if you can get her to train the replacement.

Reply

instead of using key logger, might as well control your internet trafficking from the router; way more effeicent to monitor and block anything that’s internet related :P

Reply

Agreed on the filtering by router/firewall. Disable the ability to do live streaming amongst other things. If that can’t be done, what other things aren’t secure there?

is that keylogger able to monitoring remote pc activities and how do we need to send a remote file ?

keys send to your emails which you enter in applicaton which you use

Reply

The best use for a keylogger, IMO, is to log your session, so if there are any file problems, you can recover all the text that you wrote.

Reply

I am looking for a Keylogger software (either free or paid) to mainly monitor and record the emails sent and received by the employees (Online Activities) in the company I am working for it. Can anyone advise what is the best application to be used for that purpose? Thank you.

Reply

You do not need a keylogger for that. You just need to be admin for you email server.

Have all emails copied to an external account that only you have access to.

Monitoring emails is legitimate if you have a policy (signed) by employees that states you will monitor email and browsing use. Using a keylogger is not, and I would imagine if found out you’d get some very annoyed employees who would be looking to leave very quickly and do so via a tribunal.

G³ iSam. License: “Free to try for 3 days! It is currently $37.40 to purchase which comes with a lifetime membership and 3 floating licenses or keys that can each be updated for free for life.” “Although the program is hidden when running, it shows up in task manager, program’s folder and uninstaller list.” Very bad.

which of these keyloggers can be used to detect windows login password

Reply

Any of these work, if the computer just booted up then no, you have to run the program first.
But if it asks for an admin password ( Such as updating Java or Adobe Flash Player ) than yes, it will record the data.

P.S.

Stop trying to steal your moms admin password to your family desktop ;)

I was just wondering if there is malware in the actual keylogger . My antivirus keeps popping up and I realize that the keylogger is spy ware. I just don’t want any other malware added at the same time since I will have to give it permission to run.

Reply

Which keylogger are you talking about? Most antivirus software will complain when you install a keylogger on purpose because of what it does and the methods it uses to achieve the keylogging.

Reply

keylogger is a type of virus but (depending on which one u get) it wont do anything to harm your computer. all you need to do is turn your virus protection off>> install logger >> then turn it back on
