Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
The best thing about this monitoring program is the initial Quick Tour screen. From there, things go downhill quickly.
Ardamax Keylogger is easy to install and a helpful Quick Tour page appears immediately afterward. This page consists of a field to enter test text and brief instructions for viewing the log and placing the program into hidden mode through the tray icon. As promised, the interface was brought up by double-clicking the tray icon and the test text appeared. That was the last text or any data that the program recorded. The interface is somewhat utilitarian but easy to understand. There's a log showing date, time, user, application name, and windows title. A viewing pane displays selected content. There are several options to filter the logs. A toolbar holds only a few buttons to choose the log (screenshots, keystrokes, Web, and chat), but no options to start or stop monitoring. A File menu offers the same log options and two options to choose the language and see About information. The system tray icon holds more settings, including adding a password and sending the program into stealth mode.
There are major problems with this supposedly secret monitoring program. It doesn't monitor and it isn't hidden. If you need to find out what others are doing on your computer, you'll need to find a more effective program.

"Not Great but does the trick"
Version: Ardamax Keylogger 3.8.9

User interface is pretty easy to understand.
Cons
Very little functionality. If there were more features available, it would've been rated it higher
-
"Worked but not very practical."
Version: Ardamax Keylogger 3.8.9
Pros
Works pretty well and has the ability to "hide" with a password protection.
Cons
Can't review information remotely thus making it useless for me.
-
"One of the best spy products that I had been used"
Version: Ardamax Keylogger 3.7.4
Pros
Trace every key that was pressed and see it on the logs, also you can take screenshots and little clips with the webcam. The logs can be send via email, FTP or in a network share if you are on a LAN. Even you can do a remote package install.
Cons
As a Key Logger, it cannot monitoring the system or run a program
Summary
The CNET review is incomplete and this is fully stealth, of course, I'm talking about from the payed version. Some antivirus can detect it like McAfee.

"crippled software, money-greedy developer..."
Version: Ardamax Keylogger 2.9
Pros
The software has some bugs, but could perform well overall, if it weren't for the crippled version (no hidden mode, even for a registered version !)
Cons
Hidden Mode is unavailable in Registered 2.9 version !
Money-greedy developer, unwilling to provide a fully-functional update, unless you pay for a new license.Summary
?Registered users get free updates for all minor releases. As to major releases (like 2.0, 3.0 etc.) they have a 50% discount?
In fact, registered users are denied the free upgrade.
Both support@ardamax.com and fmv@ardamax.com refuse to answer, unless you?re willing to pay for a new license !
The software has some bugs but could perform well overall, if it weren't for the crippled version (no hidden mode, even for a registered version !)
Still, the lack of support and the way of treating paying customers strongly discourage any recommendation. -
"For hiddden Users It is the best"
Version: Ardamax Keylogger 2.2
Pros
for people who want to use it without any administrative rights on a computer. we have a network and we can't move a thing from here to there . but the file system is fat32. i tried each and every keylogger to work on this pc but none of them works each on e needs admin rights.
