| Category Description |
Programs designed to monitor user activity. They may be used with or without consent. Because it is sold commercially, many anti-virus vendors do not detect them. The most common form of a commercial monitoring tool comes in the form of a keystroke logger, which intercepts keystrokes from the keyboard and records them in a log. This can then be sent to whoever installed the software, or keylogger, onto the machine. Some Commercial Monitoring Software may take screenshots or video and send the information to an outbound connection. |

From their website:
"Our Computer Snooper, Keyboard Capture, is extremely versatile product which can be used to monitor computer use in the home or in the office.
It is a device which records keystrokes and stores them in its memory module, it looks like a keyboard cable adapter. One end of the Snooper plugs into the keyboard socket on the back of the computer. The other end of the Snooper plugs in to the end of the keyboard cable. The small size
of the Snooper, combined with attaching it at the back of the computer make it inconspicuous." |
