Power Spy secretly logs keystrokes, windows opened, documents (NotePad, MS Word), clipboard activaties, passwords, applications; records MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo! IM, Windows Messenger and Skype's chat text; logs websites visited in MS IE, Firefox, Netscape, AOL Explorer, Avant Browser, Maxthon, NetCaptor and SlimBrowser; logs all emails read in MS Outlook Express and Outlook 97/2000/XP/2003; takes screenshots at your set interval like a surveillance camera. It acts stealthily that PC users won't know its existence.

However, it is easy for you to unhide its Control Panel with your hotkey, view records directly from the CP on the monitored computer, or receive records via an email at a set interval, such as every 60 minutes. The CP can be password protected to prevent others from terminating or uninstalling them, and this is useful if you want to run it visibly. Version 4.8 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
