1. General

1.1 What is Keylogger Pro?

Keylogger Pro is an advanced, low level stealth keystroke monitoring application written for the Windows operating system. Keylogger Pro allows you to secretly record ALL keystrokes typed on your PC without the user ever knowing! Keylogger Pro also includes advanced stealth mode features to prevent users and/or programs from detecting and disabling it, an e-mail delivery feature for remote monitoring, and much more!

Keylogger Pro is perfect for monitoring children, employee's, cheating spouses, or for your own personal use to backup all of your work!

1.2 Purchasing Information...

If you are still evaluating Keylogger Pro, we strongly urge you to consider purchasing the full version. Purchasing Keylogger Pro gives you many benefits. For instance, when you run Keylogger Pro, you will no longer be greeted with an "Evaluation" screen. You will also no longer be restricted to the 30 minute time limit constraints that the evaluation copy contains!

Keylogger Pro can be purchased for $39.99 (multiple license discounts are available). We offer phone/fax/postal ordering, as well as a secure online ordering system for purchasing Keylogger Pro immediately! To purchase Keylogger Pro, follow the link below...

2.1 Installing Keylogger Pro

Keylogger Pro can be installed by running the keyloggerpro-setup.exe or keyloggerpro-setup-sw.exe file depending on which version of the software you have downloaded (either the full version or the trial version).

2.2 Uninstalling Keylogger Pro

To uninstall Keylogger Pro, you can simply use the Add/Remove Programs tool inside the Windows Control Panel. If you opted to NOT include an uninstaller, you can simply delete the files off your PC manually by navigating to the directory you installed the files into and deleting each file.

3. Using Keylogger Pro

3.1 Settings Your Personal Password

When you run Keylogger Pro for the first time, you will be prompted to setup your password. It is important you remember your password, because it is used to start and stop Keylogger Pro from monitoring a machine. Your password is CASE SENSITIVE, and should be four or more numbers/letters long. Remember, the harder the password is, the harder it is for someone to guess it!

Note: You can at any time change/set your password by clicking the Options button, followed by "Set/Change Administrator Password"

3.2 Starting Keylogger Pro

Before starting Keylogger Pro's monitoring process, ensure you have configured it completely to your liking. When you are ready to being monitoring the PC, click the "Start" button and enter in your password! Keylogger Pro will now begin monitoring your PC - assuming you inputted the correct password.

3.3 Stopping Keylogger Pro

To stop Keylogger Pro from monitoring, click the "Stop" button. You will be prompted for your password. After you input your password, Keylogger Pro will stop recording keystrokes on your PC.

4. Managing/Viewing Recorded Keystrokes

4.1 Viewing Keystroke Logs

To view keystroke logs, simply click the icon labeled "View Keys" on the main Keylogger Pro interface. This will bring up the keystroke log viewer window. All you need to do is select which window you wish to view keystrokes from to view their corresponding keystrokes.

Note: Keylogger Pro must NOT be in monitoring mode! If it is, you will need to Stop the monitoring mode in order to proceed.

4.2 Sorting Keystroke Logs

At any time you can sort the Keystroke Log results by clicking the "Sort Log Data" button at the bottom of the Keystroke Log Viewer window. In the window that appears, simply select the date you wish to review log data from, and click "OK"!

4.3 Clearing Keystroke Logs

You can clear the keystroke logs Keylogger Pro has recorded by clicking the "Clear Logs" button at the bottom of the Keystroke Log Viewer window.

4.4 Exporting Keystroke Logs

Keylogger Pro offers two methods for exporting:

4.5.1 Export Currently Viewed Keystroke Log

By clicking the "Export" button at the bottom of the Keystroke Log Viewer window, this will allow you to export only the current log that you are viewing.

4.5.2 Export ALL Keystroke Logs

By clicking the "Export All" button at the bottom of the Keystroke Log Viewer window, Keylogger Pro will export ALL of the keystroke logs to a directory which you specify.

5. E-Mail Delivery

5.1 What is E-Mail Delivery?

The e-mail delivery feature inside of Keylogger Pro allows you to have all the recorded keystrokes sent to you via e-mail at a remote location while it is monitoring a machine. You may also have a list of Keylogger Pro actions sent, as well as a current screen capture of the computers desktop.

You can configure the E-Mail Delivery settings by clicking the "E-Mail Deliver" button on the main Keylogger Pro interface and select the appropriate configuration window (either general or advanced).

5.2 What Can be Sent Via E-Mail?

The following can be sent via e-mail...

Keystroke Activity Logs

Desktop Screen Shot

Keylogger Pro Actions Activity Log

And, after a SUCCESSFUL e-mail delivery, Keylogger Pro is able to clear ALL keystroke log data off your PC. This is good if the machine in question has limited disk space.

5.3 Configuring E-Mail Settings

Inside the SMTP or POP Settings (General/Advanced E-Mail Delivery Options) window, you are greeted with a series of input fields. You MUST enter the values into these values correctly, otherwise you will NOT receive e-mail updates. If you are unsure of the the fields (such as your SMTP host or POP3 account information), contact your system administrator or your ISP - they will be able to give you this information.

Tip: If you are not sure what to fill in for these windows, you can always extract your e-mail settings from your current e-mail client (Such as Outlook, Eudora, Netscape, etc). Please do not contact us requesting this information - we do not have access to it!

5.4 Testing your E-Mail Settings

To test your e-mail settings, click the "Advanced" button inside the General E-Mail Delivery Options screen, and click "Test E-Mail Delivery Settings". If everything works - you should receive a notification stating the test was complete. If something failed - consult your ISP or system administrator with the error message you received and ask them for the correct info.

Note: It is always best to test your settings each time you change them. If you don't, you risk the chance of mistyping something, and thus, not receiving the logs via e-mail.
