Watch your kids! Install a keylogger on your Windows PC

It’s a nagging question that has alarmed parents for thousands of years. What are your kids up to?

If they’re at school or a friend’s house, who’s there with them and what are they doing? Of course, nothing’s more important than your family, so it makes sense that you’re concerned.

Unfortunately, the internet has turned this simple concern into a very real problem, with potentially devastating problems for your kids. You just need to watch the evening news to know that young people are talking to strangers online – and meeting them in person, seeing images and videos they shouldn’t watch, or just chatting with friend you don’t trust.

Whatever your kids are doing, it’s your job to keep them safe. But how do you do that when they’re on the internet, either in their bedroom or many miles away?

One way is with a keylogger, or a keystroke logger. These are software programs that you use to keep tabs on your kids by virtually watching each key that they type on the keyboard.

Note: Keep reading to find out if someone is tracking your every move.

Try these free keyloggers. Then tell us in comments about the keylogger program you’re using.
