Version: Family Keylogger Pro 1
Pros: great price and easy to use, does what it says it can. runs hidden and can be password protected.
Cons: although you can hide the program folder and delete the icons there is an icon in the add/remove folder. this can be got around by renaming the initial installation folder to something else and then trying to uninstall from the add/remove folder :)

"great program, easy to use and install and good support too"
Pros: was really easy to install and setup, i have been looking for a program like this for a while and finally took the plunge. i made a couple of mistakes but their support was excellent, makes a change to have decent support these days. last but not least the price is just about right, i was even given access to their members section free of charge which has a lot more software to download. overall 10/10
Cons: none really, top value for money.

"An unbiased review from a happy customer!"
Pros: i was looking for a program to keep a watch on the kids and after searching download.com i decided to try this application with it having 5 editors stars. From the outset i was not dissapointed, i purchased the product on the 16th and within an hour i had my details to login to my download area for the program itself.
Setup was easy as 1 2 3, these days theres nothing worse than having to have a degree in science just to install and run a bloody program, the interface was neatly laid out in an easy to use fashion and was in itself self explanoritary. Hiding the program from prying eyes was also very easy to do and within 5 minutes of the initial installation i had the program monitoring everything i did in stealth.
The main use for me was to keep an eye on my 3 teenage children, they use the internet daily and in todays world you can never be sure who they are really talking to. up to press the program has been doing a fine job and i have been able to keep a silent eye on my children giving me peace of mind.
i had no problems with installation or running but i did have a couple of questions regarding slight issues which were resolved very quickly to my satisfaction.
What was really good for me though was the extra's we got free of charge from this company, we got a fully featured adware/spyware scanner/remover which i might add was brilliant. This adware remover got rid of 128 individual pieces of spyware on my system, since this i have noticed my pc to be a lot faster so i would like to thank the company for this 'freebie'. These days its nice to see a firm actually looking after their customers and not only did we get the spyware remover free we also got access to a members section which also had some nice programs also free of charge.
Lastly the banners are not in the full version which is great as you could actually see in history that the demo was using the net to load banners.

Version: Family Keylogger Pro 1
Pros: There are a lot of positives about this program that are represented in other reviews. Unfortunately, for me, the negatives rendered the program unusable, so I see no reason to go into the positives.
Cons: For me, the program crashed regularly -- I couldn't go more than an hour without it crashing. Two problems with this: (1) When it crashes, a window pops up saying that it stopped working, so whoever is using the computer knows that it was on, and (2) after it crashes, it no longer records activity on the computer.
I corresponded with the program's creator on his forum -- for the first two or three exchanges he was very responsive -- and I followed the instructions he gave. It did not fix the frequent crashing problem. He has not responded to my last post (six weeks ago, on 4/21/08) asking for more help.
Also I found that my typing suffered from a lag whenever the keylogger was on. (In its defense, perhaps if I had set it up to automatically start a new log at more regular intervals, this might not have happened? I'll never know.)
The biggest drawback to all of this is that the creator of the program has a policy of not refunding anyone their money. Oh, and by the way, it costs more than download.com says it does because you're paying in British pounds.
The program's creator seems like a nice guy, and I'd like to recommend this program, but I just can't. I have to recommend you look elsewhere for a keylogger. FKP might work great for you, but then again it might not. If your computer is like mine, you'll have a crash-happy program and be so much the worse for having parted with your hard-earned money to buy it.
