A PC Spy Software does exactly what it sounds like
. It is software that runs on the PC to spy on the users that log onto it without the knowledge of the PC owner. It lets the owner know what the others that log on to the system do with it while the owner is away.
It secretly records all the key strokes and the screenshots and sends them through logs to Email without any physical intervention by the user. It is an extremely user friendly interface and the most interesting and viable feature is that the other unauthenticated user is unaware of its existence. The installation is a little complex since it requires all the programs already running to be shut down before the installation is complete.
PC Spy Software records the user name and the passwords entered by the unauthenticated user without actually revealing the fact that the information is being recorded. PC Spy Software monitors and records all latest versions Windows Live Messenger / Skype / MSN Messenger / ICQ / AOL Messenger / AIM / QQ / Yahoo! Messenger's chat conversations with applications used, websites visited etc. It also logs the username and password used to login in a messenger. The owner will know what was typed, where and when it was typed, and the owner will know who was talking to whom.
The PC Spy Software takes and saves screen shots of the desktop taken at regular intervals and stores it as a JPG format image. The time interval can be set according to convenience of the owner. It can be customized to even a screenshot every second.
It automatically delivers these logs to Email without any intervention. This is transferred in parts at regular intervals to the Email and even this can be configured by the owner. The best part with PC Spy Software is that the owner can track all the happenings remotely by logging on to some other machine even when the machine that is being monitored is on.
To open the PC Spy Software the owner needs to log on to the start menu and run the command to open it. It needs a password to be opened and hence an unauthorized user, even if he knows how to run it cant reach it since the password is prompted before the software is opened. It cannot be stopped with a Task Manager nor can it be uninstalled.
