Know what happens on your computer when you're not looking
You share a computer with a child, or you hand a workstation to an employee, and you have no idea which websites get visited, who is being chatted with, or which programs actually get used. Spytech SpyAgent is a Windows monitoring program built to answer those questions by recording activity in the background and letting you review it later.

Key features
See every keystroke, password and application used
The keylogger records what users type, including app and web passwords. Application logging shows which programs ran and for how long they were actually used.
Review websites, chats, emails and screenshots in one place
SpyAgent logs website visits and searches, social network activity, emails and chat sessions. Screenshots are captured and played back as a slideshow. It can also record microphone audio and webcam images, and log file transfers and mouse clicks.
Block unwanted sites, programs and chat clients
You can block websites by address, keyword or category, as well as programs, games and chat messengers. Lockdown scheduling locks the computer during times you choose, and alerts reach you by email or text message when unwanted activity happens.
Run invisibly behind a password
Stealth mode hides the program and its log files, and a password keeps anyone else from changing settings or reading logs. Logs can be encrypted, and an optional notice can tell users they are being monitored. If you want it gone, a self-destruct option uninstalls it automatically.
Get Top 10 reports instead of reading raw logs
One-click reports cover the most popular activities and top applications, websites, searches, files, chatters and email senders. Built-in log viewers let you search and filter by date. Logs can be sent to you by email on a schedule or on demand, or viewed remotely through the optional SpyAnywhere Cloud service.
Who it's for
Parents who want to see what a child does online will find the content blocking and activity reports useful. Small business owners can check how workstations are being used. Anyone with a shared home PC can see whether others go through their files while they are away. You need a Windows computer to monitor, because this is not a Mac or phone tool.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Very wide range of things it records, from keystrokes to file transfers.
- Filtering and alerts are built in, so it does more than log.
- One-time lifetime licence with no renewal fees.
- Free trial, 24/7 support and free remote assistance.
Cons
- Windows only.
- Live viewing from anywhere needs the cloud service. It is included for 12 months in the Remote Suite and can be added to other editions.
- Major version upgrades are free for 1 year only on multi-user licences.
- The wide feature set means more settings to go through, although a configuration wizard helps.
