Elite Keylogger

CNET Editors' review

This monitoring software quickly and easily monitors keystrokes and PC activity, and it does so using a well-designed user interface. Our only complaint is the short 7-day trial period.

When you first install Elite Keylogger, you'll be asked to select modes--visibility and invisibility. You'll also be asked to enter and confirm a password. The user interface is very easy to navigate and professional-looking. The top of the window has command buttons for customizing filters, exporting logs, and viewing logs. The options menu is a little overwhelming, but from there, you can enter a monitoring schedule, set up snapshot intervals, and manage your password. There is a calendar on the main user interface that lets you quickly select dates for monitoring. For our first test, we viewed the screenshots for the current day. The program instantly produced screenshots with the date and time. We were able to view keystrokes, Internet activity, applications, and e-mail history with a simple click of the mouse. E-mailing the logs was also just as quick and easy.

Unfortunately, you don't have much time to give Elite Keylogger a try. Still, this is a great monitoring program for all user levels.

    "Don't waste your money"

    November 7, 2012  |   By travathian

    Version: Elite Keylogger 5.0.302

    Pros

    The demo version seems to work . . .

    Cons

    But once you pay and upgrade, the software does not work as advertised.
    Developer will not offer refunds nor support.

    Summary

    If you are dumb enough to buy it, be ready to dispute it with your CC company.

    "If I could give negative stars, I would."

    October 20, 2012  |   By JJinPA

    Version: Elite Keylogger 5.0

    Pros

    none. This is horrible junk.

    Cons

    Doesn't capture most of what is going on. Program corrupts constantly if you don't monitor and clear data in it within a few days (screenshots give error message and won't display), and if you go more then a few weeks without resetting everything, it corrupts so bad it won't even load anymore.

    Summary

    just burn your money and save yourself the headache of thinking you're monitoring your computer, only to be repeatedly disappointed that nothing worked.

    Updated on Oct 20, 2012

    It also appears that the maker of this program reviews himself regularly (5 stars of course) and gives a thumbs down to all negative reviews.

    "Elite Keylogger is the best!"

    October 13, 2012  |   By gregorydouglas

    Version: Elite Keylogger 5.0.302

    Pros

    Prissielou, why you and other negative reviewers are so short-sighted? if you can't disable your antivirus until this best keylogger is installed, stop posting stupid reviews here that distract other users from monitoring their computers only because people like you cannot configure Elite Keylogger. not only developer, but CNET and many other reviewers confirmed that Elite keylogger IS NOT and NEVER WAS a virus. if some antivirus reports it as the one, it doesn't mean it's a trojan, or any of the kind. it's because people like you report this beautifully crafted keylogger sample to antiviruses and ruin any legitimate attempts to install a great keylogger like this on my system. ELITE KEYLOGGER IS THE BEST AND THE MOST HIDDEN AMONG ALL OTHER KEYLOGGERS AWARE full stop!

    Cons

    nothing for me
