Editor's review of Power Spy Software 2007

It wont take Sherlock Holmes to find out what users have been up to on your computer using this straightforward PC-monitoring software.

Power Spy 2006 records keyloggers, logs URLs of Web sites visited, captures screenshots and opened applications and can conveniently send log reports to your e-mail. Instant messages from most of the popular messenger applications such as Yahoo, AOL, ICQ, and Skype are quickly logged and stamped by date and time, as are Web sites visited. For invisibility, the program can operate in stealth mode only to be called out of hiding by a hotkey combination. The pleasant interface is password-protected and can be set to run at system startup.

Power Spy 2006 employs a reminder screen to purchase the product, so you won't want to test the trial version on anyone. Bottom line is that anyone looking for a comprehensive set of surveillance tools should give this one a try.
