Elite Keylogger Giveaway - Monitor PC Activity | MakeUseOf

A Return to Elite Keylogger: Monitoring Made Simple

Does this situation resonate with you? We previously highlighted Elite Keylogger in a prior promotion. Due to its significant popularity, we are pleased to offer it again to our readers.

This time, the prize is enhanced, with 20 copies of Widestep Security's Elite Keylogger 4.7 PRO, valued at $1980, being given away (compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 32-bit systems).

This article and its accompanying guide are based on Elite Keylogger 4.6 PRO. However, be assured that the software’s functionality remains largely consistent. Let's explore what this software offers.

Why Use a Keylogger?

Have you considered the need to safeguard your children from sharing personal details online? Even with thorough conversations about online safety, a child might not fully grasp the extent of information they are disclosing.

Alternatively, are you an employer seeking to oversee employee work patterns? These represent common scenarios where a keystroke recorder can be beneficial.

MakeUseOf wishes to emphasize that we do not support the use of keyloggers for any unlawful or unethical activities. This giveaway is intended to promote legitimate uses, such as employee monitoring or supervising a child’s internet usage.

Elite Keylogger 4.7 PRO: Features and Functionality

Elite Keylogger 4.7 PRO provides a comprehensive suite of features for monitoring user activity on a computer, all within a user-friendly interface.

It can be configured to record every keystroke, track application usage, monitor visited websites, and even capture screenshots at predetermined intervals.

The keylogger operates with complete discretion. It remains hidden from the user, absent from the taskbar, control panel, and process lists.

During testing, it successfully evaded detection by various virus scanners. Without having installed it myself, I would have been unaware of its presence on the system.

Following installation, clear instructions are provided to temporarily reveal the program for configuration purposes.

Configuring and Viewing Logs

Upon unhiding the program, the main interface loads, allowing you to customize the settings.

The right-hand menu enables you to select the date range for the logs you wish to review. You can then choose the specific log type – keystrokes, screenshots, and so on – to examine.

The keylogger can securely email the logs directly to you. It's important to note that the program logs all keystrokes, including passwords, so exercise caution when transmitting this information via email.

Performance and Resource Usage

The software allows for granular control, enabling you to track specific items and apply settings to individual users.

Even while recording keystrokes and capturing screenshots every 20 seconds, I observed no noticeable performance degradation or increased RAM consumption on a three-year-old laptop. This demonstrates the software’s efficient operation.

As illustrated, the software also meticulously records application usage, including launch and close times.

Screenshot Tracking

Screenshot tracking alone can provide valuable insights into a user’s computer activities.

If frequent screenshots are taken, reducing the snapshot quality to 8-bit is recommended to conserve disk space.

All screenshots are displayed in a convenient thumbnail gallery and can be enlarged with a single click.

Final Thoughts and Alternatives

If you require an undetectable, lightweight, and easy-to-use keystroke tracker, Elite Keylogger 4.7 PRO is a highly recommended solution. Download the fully functional 7-day trial to evaluate its capabilities firsthand.

For those who do not require stealth, Widestep Security offers a free Quick Keylogger.

The free version is visible in the taskbar and readily detected by antivirus and anti-trojan software. While password protection for logs is available, users can terminate the program if they discover it.

The free keylogger offers a reduced feature set compared to the PRO version, but it can effectively record keystrokes for basic monitoring needs.
