Does anyone have any suggestions on any tools on XP with SP3 keep record on

activities for XP? such as copying files, running application, accessing

internet. I know Event Viewer, but it does not contain the log for copying

files

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Eric

Does Key logger only record any keyboard activity?

Can it record copy and paste files using mouse?

Can it record what application is being used at specific time?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Eric

"Keylogger" is a generic term for hardware and/or software that records

keystrokes and/or mouse activities and/or "all users activity on the

PC." Some are free, some are for sale, and some are malware. You need to

do some research on what's available and compare it to what you want to

do. Here are some places to start:

what you are liking

seeking is a method

to spy and there are

a number of methods

to help you.



incidentally, keep in mind

that any spyware you may

end up choosing may be

inhibited by any anti-

virals installed on the

system.

I don't know or care about "lem", but nothing I recommended was spyware of

any kind and won't include spyware if it's downloaded from reputable web

sites. Those are very useful trouble-shooting tools and that's all they are.

You'd be hard pressed to use them for spying on any machine that has any

modicum of Security installed.

Some of the sources as SysInternals (now MS), SourceForge, ElderGeek, and

similar places; I don't recall which is which or even if that list is all

inclusive. There is a monitor available for just about any part of a

computer one wishes to monitor. SIW is another I left out of the list as is

WinPatrol and afew others.

the utilities you mentioned

in the other posts and in this

sub thread can also be of

use to the o.p.

Chill out, Twayne. I wasn't writing about anything you posted (I posted

to this thread before you did). I was responding to the OP's question

about "key loggers" -- a topic which was first raised by "db."

No problem Len. I no longer recall the details but someone linked us somehow

and all I meant was I wasn't speaking for you nor vice-versa. IIRC someone

said something about the products like you and I recommended containing

spyware . Since the reference was snipped out I chose to add a bit of

separation, that's all. Personally I don't recall what you said so I needed

to be careful of speaking for you. That's all.
