CyberSpy 2

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

CyberSpy records some computer activities, but its most pertinent monitoring features aren't reliable. It's armed with a clean-cut, well-designed interface easy enough for anyone to understand. The program claims to run in stealth mode, and can be accessed with a hot-key combo and password, but the trial version is listed in the Start menu, Task Manager, and Add or Remove Programs. It successfully captures screenshots at user-specified intervals, and records launched URLs, applications, and documents. CyberSpy also effectively restricts access to specified applications and Web sites by immediately terminating the browser or program window. You can view or save log reports of all PC activities in TXT format. Much to our surprise, CyberSpy wasn't able to log chat sessions or e-mails during our analysis, and we found that keystrokes were inaccurately captured during the 30-minute monitoring session given in the trial. While it's easy to use and has some decent monitoring tools, users who want the full picture of PC activities will need to keep looking.

Publisher's description

From CyberSpy Software :

CyberSpy records all e-mails typed and viewed, chat conversations, Web sites, keystrokes, passwords, applications, windows, documents, and even desktop snapshots--all in total stealth (if desired). It's perfect for monitoring others who use your PC: children, spouses, or employees.
