Key Recorder Settings - What Can I Capture?
Key recording software works as a recording tool capturing nearly every keystroke that gets entered through a keyboard. From the data that gets recorded, you configure the program to flag certain events. You can configure the software flag when certain words get typed or to flag when certain words show up on webpages. This recorded data then gets stored on the PC for you to later retrieve. Some keystroke recorders have the built in functionality to send an email to a specified email address for you to view recorded data remotely. One thing to note is that if you configure your keystroke recording software to send the recorded data to you via an email, and there is a firewall running on the same PC, there will be notification to the user using the PC at that time that there is suspicious activity going on. The firewall software will detect that "something" is trying to send an email from you computer. This could eliminate the element of invisibility.
A Keystroke Recorder is configurable to flag certain criteria based on your needs. WebWatcher's Keystroke Recorder sends all recorded data and flagged data to a remote web page for you to view privately and away from the person being monitored. The flagged data can be certain typed words in a particular program or particular words view on a web page. What's more is that you can have the software take screen shots as well, if your criteria are met.
