"Software does not perform everything it claims to do"
Version: KidLogger 5.6.11
Pros
Easy to install. User interface is straightforward to use.
Cons
The only feature which I really required does not work correctly. I needed this application to record keystrokes but this is not happening consistently.

"Lack of customization"
Version: KidLogger 5.6.11
Pros
Very simple, easy to install program. Doesn't carry all the extra baggage many programs do.
Cons
Certain functions of the program lack simple customization options one would expect.
I downloaded the program mainly for the screenshot function. However, the program only allows screenshots to be taken at intervals between 1 & 60 MINUTES. Programers should expand the options quite a bit further. Otherwise, its a useless program to me if I can't customize it. -
"Good, easy install, fairly stealthy. Does a good job."
Version: KidLogger 5.6.11
Pros
Quick download and install, good basic controls, mostly stealthy.
Cons
If your kid is a computer nerd, they can see the processes running and it's named kidlogger. Should be KL or something else that doesn't give it away. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL, if known and used by the kids, will quickly give away the fact that a key logger is running.
Summary
Good stable product, and (with a few renaming efforts) stealthy unless kids (or others) are computer saavy and make efforts to see if key loggers are running.
To make truly "stealthy" do the renaming suggested in original post, then disable the Task Manager that displays all processes running merely by pressingCtrl-Alt-Del or right right clicking over the date/time. Many ways to disable the task manager. I thing the easiest is this..
Recommend renaming Folder name and shortcut names in "Start > All Programs". I renamed to "Format Disks" and took out names KidLogger in submenu text. Run for a few hours and make sure it gets past your firewalls, malware, spyware and antivirus controls without popups to give it away.

Start > Run > regedit
Highlight Computer
Ctrl-F(find fuction) and look for DisableTaskManager.
For each occurence found (1 or 2), Modify the value to a "1".
That's it. Then this is truly pretty stealthy, even for experiened users. I keep it on my HP Pvvilion laptop with all the bells and whistles and anti-malware, anti-spyware, firewall and anti-virus, and I'm never aware it's running, especially if I've disabled Task Manager. You really have to crawl around under the covers of the PC to see it.
Another short-coming, but not a serious one, is that the web pages aren't displayed correctly using Chrome as the web browser. But, you still have the web address and keystrokes, and everything else you need. -

"good but not great"
Version: KidLogger 1.4
Pros
quick, easy to use
Cons
stealth could be better, logging isnt 100% accurate
Summary
It doesn't seem to be totally accurate in capturing keystrokes, and sometimes the result is confusing even if it is correct. Example: something like "name@email" is rendered as "name2[shift]email" . Also, keystrokes are sometimes picked up in the wrong order (only seen this once so far, but i'm sure it was the program and not me.. during testing, I logged into my email account, which worked properly indicating that I had typed the name correctly, but the key log showed the name with two of the letters transposed). This is the only keylogger I have ever tried, so I don't know if this is just something to be expected with any software, or if it's a flaw in the program. Another small complaint: all keystrokes captured are logged in all upper-case. (Although for my purpose I don't really care; I'm trying to monitor for inappropriate usage in general, not trying to actually log into someone's email or anything) In any case, even if not 100% accurate, it's enough to get a pretty good idea of what is being done with the computer.
Overall, it's free and gets the job done. I think I'll stick with this one.
Oh, one other thing: THIS PROGRAM IS A KEYLOGGER. ANTIVIRUS/MALWARE DETECTORS ARE MADE TO DETECT KEYLOGGERS. If you get warnings from your antivirus while installing this, it's because you are in fact installing (potentially) malicious software. This doesn't mean that this program is going to steal your bank account - the antivirus program doesn't know that you intended to install a keylogger, and so is doing its job protecting you. In order to monitor someone else while the antivirus is running, you should configure the antivirus to allow exceptions and specify this program. That way, the truly malicious stuff will be blocked but the antivirus will let the logger continue unaffected. -
