A key logger is also known as keystroke loggers. It is a
program or a tool on your computer or mobile phone that logs the keystroke you
type.There are two types of key
logger available such as hardware and software key loggers. Hardware keystroke
logger works like a USB which is plugged into your system and log what you
type. On the other hand, software key
loggers are the most preferred tool among the people. Most of the software
loggers are bundled with other programs, which can help themselves be installed
to the system without users knowing, as they are spyware and dangerous for
online personal information.
These types of key loggers are bundled to a link sent to
you. If you click the link, they will be automatically installed in your system
and your personal online information will be leaked. You can use anti-virus to
scan your system in order to get rid from this spyware. Some Mac key loggers are independent
applications and need manually installation and an admin password to install
onto your system. They all are judged as clean and safe by most of the well-known
downloading sites. Basically, they are used as employee monitoring software or
parental monitoring software. The use of these key loggers ranges from
computers to mobile phones.
Nowadays, these key loggers become too powerful with the
function of tracking keystrokes, recording website, capturing screen shots and
sending reports. If you want to take a look about how your kids use a Mac and
the internet, so as to keep them going well with cyber space, if you have a
small company with Apple computers and you want to monitor your staff a Mac key logger is the ideal name for
you.
