Hi, I need your help!

Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about keylogger.

I have a son and I'm worried about what he's getting up to and some of the sites he's visiting. Will it also capture his passwords?

I know I probably shouldn't be "spying" on him, but I'm at my wits end, and very anxious.

Any help or comments appreciated? Dose anyone know something about keylogger?

Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about keylogger.

I have a son and I'm worried about what he's getting up to and some of the sites he's visiting...

I know I probably shouldn't be "spying" on him, but I'm at my wits end, and very anxious.

If you disallow something within your home.. Then use OpenDNS and block what you want out.... BUT..

Things to consider:

Number one problem I have here is why you want to capture his passwords to get access to his accounts. Second I feel that in retrospect to any home life issues that may be occurring, what types of behavior is it that your worried about? Is he simply online all the time? Is he exhibiting behavior which would suggest he needs professional help? Are suspect that he is drifting into criminal behavior? How old is he?

Are these 'issues' anxious and at your wit's end.. Is this simply a result of your own issues, interpersonally... In other words are your worried backed by factual observations, and how well are these things observed or thought through on a normal level without connecting it to something that would be awful from the start.. sending you spiraling into an emotional roller-coaster driven by stress and work.. so on.. which also can play a huge role in how well your able to ingest simple observations in behavior by him as a person which .. you do not understand because truthfully the two of you are different people especially as he develops into an adult.. and changes occur within people everyday?.. as he becomes his own person.. not the 'YOU' person..

Next.. I would state that whatever you walk away from this with you should truly consider the law in these matters and realize that personal rights and rights of those individuals personal information online; according to the statutes and laws of those properties.. before you in fact take one action or the next. Regardless of what we do in this world or where we feel justified, the last thing we want to show people; would be that it is okay t break these rules and laws.. and by way of their experiences they will do whatever, whenever they choose in whatever way they can.. For example a lot of people remember their first experience with violence coming from the home.. Psychologically speaking this has a dissociative factor that can in fact be the choice they make when they know not what else to do; especially when the pressure is on.. or the situation gets heavy.. Vandalism, robbery, slander, defamation... and other forms of recourse which are strong personality flaws which many accept as normal within their environment and the response of frame of mind..

So when you suggest you need control of his accounts.. Are you fearful that he is or has committed possibly a horrible act online or done something to you? Is it a trust issue.. or something dissociative.. Do the years of teaching and problems coming from fatigue and elements within your environment causing you not to trust him in anyway? Is it justified.. and is this really the best way to deal with it.. or do you think there could be a better way.. Especially when he finds this out.. or in the end is able to figure it out? You see at that point you flip the table, and turn the gun on yourself in this situation as well.. and may be someone he will never trust.. Something he will never look at in the proper light no matter how much money or promise you throw his way.. You may in fact. especially at younger ages.. push him away from you.. which may in fact hurl his life int the world you exactly do not want him to become a part of.. in some cases because they feel they have no choice either.. rather it be because of their own morals on what has been done to them.. ( because they will connect with their peers.. and work together in some ways for the same thing in these matters.. - regardless of the narcissism of the situation ) Who is good for their lives and their goals.. and even in finding happiness..in other words..

There always is a stage of letting go and allowing them to live their live so that in fact they can get the life experience they need to develop social skills and others.. to be able to function and exist in this world.. They have to pursue this on their level with their peers.. and through what people around them know... especially when it is a matter they need some reality with.. not a cookie-cutter mom who is going to tell you to say your prayers before you go to bed.. and that the wold is going to revolve around you being nice to people.. A version of live out of a Martha Stewart catalogue.. that really isn't the truth of what they will have to do in life around them.. Cold truth of the world around them .. FROM the world around them as a conglomerate to pull an assessment of resources and method.. A place to feel comfortable reacting with and being at.. For the most part they are still sorting themselves out for who they want to be.. many thing will come through that life to a path to an endpoint...

Self-discovery is NOT a group therapy session with someone holding your hand or violating your privacy into a part of your world where some people simply do not belong.. accepting these private areas of one's life says more of anything than you realize.. BUT even with more weight and reaction will you have it.. when you violate these areas.. Or try to control a being aware of their own existence.. Believe it or not .. violating these areas and forcibly becoming involved can make or twist that experience for that individual into something perverse which can have some severe repercussion on down the road..

So be careful.. and I would advise you against it.. Curious minds often are curious for reason unknown.. They need to know what it is and how they work... to get as close as they can and to understand it and even in some case why they do not want it.. or what it really is when they have nothing to connect it to .. by being shelter TOO much.. Spawning paranoia or worry.. Making their life painful and broken.. i not going to have a proper effect and can steal away much of their young lives well int their mid 20's and 30's.. and really fold back ( negatively ) on what .. I think.. you may want for him.. but with some reality.. not as your little baby any longer.. Thats gone.. He's growing up or may already be there..

You know if this IS something 'bad' disallowing him from using your property to do so is an option.. If neither of you have trust then you have nothing.. If you have to go this far to find out then you should disconnect it and end it.. Don't violate the personal space.. don't scar him interpersonally.. and cripple his development by tainting it right off with suspicion of everything..

EDIT: Please excuse the typos.. don't have the time to fix them all right now....

there is one --- Desktop Shark

i tried it for fun on my own laptop to see , and yes it did work .

stealth installation and hidden run .

has paid and free versions .

ps - just be careful for how you use loggers . be it of any kind . free or paid or pro . there are softwares even more advanced than just a logger . they monitor every f!@#n little thing that goes on in a system and the network that is connected with the computer , record it and without the user having even a minor iota of doubt that he is being spied upon ..!

invasion of privacy is not a good thing and rather not a civilized thing to do in our society especially when it comes to our near and dear ones .

be very sure and convince yourself of the reasons in full as to why you want to use it , coz the results might not be what you would want to know .

and finally if you do set up such piece of software on your machine , just be mentally prepared of the results

on the other hand if you are concerned about what your child does on a internet connected pc ,-----

---- you can set a limited user account with all the restrictions to the computer usage ,( time of usage , type of games , type of videos , net filtering etc.... )

---- use a DNS filtering service like Open DNS .

---- use K9 Security Setup ( only for 32bit ) Its an Internet Filter and Parental Control K9

---- install a security suite with child restriction options , . F-Secure Internet Security is a good option which allows setting up child monitoring and filtering rules .Avira too has these settings .)

----Specific Porn blocking Stop Porn

most importantly and the best solution , which is guaranteed to work - Talk with your kiddo . dont talk like a father figure , a strict mentor , but like a friend to him . casually and calmly .

hope it helps ... :)

You know this of all things says it.. You figure it out..

Important Please Read:

Recently several Antivirus Software companies have aggressively started blocking downloads, deleting files, and disregarding exception rules for Desktop Shark even with firewalls and scanning turned OFF.

As a result, some users have reported File Missing errors among other problems. In most cases, if your running newer versions of Windows such as 7 then antivirus software is no longer needed at all and can be a nuisance for installed software.

We have intentions of taking measures to counteract these annoying problems but are currently very busy working on a brand new version of Desktop Shark 3.0. If you have issues with this download please check with the antivirus software installed on your machine.

Stay tuned.
