Spying on people may not be ethical, but sometimes it can be the only way to see if your employees are doing their job, instead of wasting time, if your children are accessing inappropriate web sites or if someone is using your computer without your knowledge and permission. If you need to know how someone is using your computer while you are away, you can use Power Spy to record everything, from keystrokes to visited web sites. The application works in stealth mode, so the user will have no clue that he is being monitored.

Power Spy's setup kit is roughly 3 MB large. Installing the application does not involve making complex configurations or rebooting your computer. In a few moments, the program will launch automatically and you will need to create a master password.

You can start monitoring a computer right away, by clicking an option on the right side of the interface. The next option will activate the software's stealth mode. When Power Spy is in stealth mode, you will not find any clues that it is installed and working on your computer. The application is not listed in the Windows Uninstaller, it does not display a system tray icon and its installation folder is hidden.

The interface can be restored only by hitting a certain hot key, so it is very important to remember the combination. A series of icons, located on the larger area of the interface, represent the various logs that Power Spy is capable of creating. The software can log a user's activity on Facebook, his keystrokes, visited web sites, MSN, Skype Yahoo Messenger conversations, sent emails and more. It can even take screenshots, once every few seconds.

If you access the program's general settings panel, you will be able to activate or deactivate individual monitoring features, set up exclusions if you don't want to monitor a certain user account, and make other configurations. The created logs can be exported as an HTML file or you can set the application to send them to a certain email address.

Pros

Power Spy can log any activity on a computer, without leaving any clues that it exists. The logs are neatly organized and you can export them or set the application to send them by email. The application is very straightforward, so you can use it without any difficulties.

Cons

The log windows appear in full screen mode and you can not resize them. You will also have a hard time if you forget your hot key or password. Power Spy provides you with any information you need if you suspect that someone is using your computer without your permission. Its smart functionality and user friendly interface make it an excellent choice if you are looking for a surveillance application.
