SpyAnytime PC Spy

Overview

Vendor Description

"SpyAnytime PC Spy allows you to secretly monitor and record user's activities on computer, such as web sites visited, all windows opened, application executed, Internet chats, every keystroke, including username and password, and even take snapshots of the entire Windows desktop at set intervals, just like a surveillance camera pointed directly at your computer monitor. With SpyAnytime PC Spy, you will be able to see EXACTLY what they have been doing online and offline. It can run in completely INVISIBLE mode and is PASSWORD PROTECTED, so no one except you is aware of its existence, and the password can prevent other people from revoking/terminating/uninstalling it."

Category

Surveillance: Any software designed to use a webcam, microphone, screen capture, or other approaches to monitor and capture information. Some such software will transmit this captured information to a remote source. See also Key Logger.

Key Logger: (Keystroke Logger). A program that runs in the background, recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the attacker. The attacker then peruses them carefully in the hopes of either finding passwords, or possibly other useful information that could be used to compromise the system or be used in a social engineering attack. For example, a key logger will reveal the contents of all e-mail composed by the user. Keylog programs are commonly included in rootkits and RATs (remote administration trojans).
