SpyAgent - Easy-to-Use Monitoring Program That's Loaded with Features

Installation and configuration is a snap. You can choose to install either in Administrator/Tester mode or in Stealth mode (the differences are explained in the screenshot).

SpyAgent can be configured manually or you can choose to have a wizard walk you through the setup.

Whichever option you choose, the process is pretty straightforward and most of the functions and options are self-explanatory.

Should you be running any form of security software, chances are that alarm bells will start ringing as soon as you attempt to install SpyAgent. Even Windows Defender pops up a warning.

SpyAgent offers to fix this problem for you by providing an option to "Disable Spyware Detectors".

That didn't work and the warnings continued to pop up. On one hand, this is not bad thing. I would hate to think that my security applications could be so easily disabled. On the other hand, it's a bad thing. In order to conceal SpyAgent's presence you may need to either completely disable your security programs (an unfavorable option) or find some means of configuring them to ignore or trust SpyAgent.

You can configure SpyAgent to send its logs to your e-mail address. When I tried that it didn't work with the default settings and I had to make some adjustments. This is something which an inexperienced user could find quite difficult.

I encountered an error when attempting to perform certain tasks, but the problem is documented in the FAQ's and the solution works.

Given its very extensive set of features, you might think that SpyAgent's interface would be cluttered. That's not the case and Spytech have done a very good job at keeping things both intuitive and simple.

It's easy to work out where you need to go and do what you need to do. All the controls are easily accessible and, on the whole, self-explanatory.

SpyAgent has an extensive set of features and provides all the functionality that you would expect to find in a program of this type, and then some. In fact, SpyAgent's features are too extensive to list here in their entirety, but to provide you with a taster they include:

• Keystroke logging.
• Chat client logging.
• Email logging.
• Clipboard logging.
• Screenshot capturing with image quality configurable.
• An optional and configurable splash screen to alert users to the fact that they are being monitored.
• Scheduled or keyword-triggered (smart) logging.
• Email and FTP log delivery.
• Website logging.
• Printer logging.
• Lockdown scheduling.

With SpyAgent's extensive range of features you can capture both sides of the conversation in popular chat clients such as ICQ, MSN Messenger and AOL/AIM. You can see see the contents and the identity of the sender or recipient of both incoming and outgoing emails. It also enables you to automatically capture screenshots of the desktop which you can subsequently view as a slideshow. You can see a list of websites visited and the amount of time that was spent on each website and search the logs for a specific word (an address or telephone number, for example). SpyAgent can also show which applications were opened and how long they were open and much, much more. It's all rather chilling, really.

For a full list of features, see the SpyAgent website; (http://www.spytech-web.com/spyagent-features.shtml ).

Log files can either be viewed locally (on the computer on which SpyAgent is installed) or can be automatically sent to an email address of your choice or even uploaded via FTP to a specified location to be viewed remotely.

SpyAgent will certainly provide you with a very comprehensive and very detailed overview of the activities taking place on the computer on which it's installed. In fact, there really isn't very much that it missed. Each of its features work exactly as advertised (well, except for "Disable Spyware Detectors").

As already mentioned, I did encounter some post-installation errors. Following the steps outlined in the FAQ provided an easy remedy, but it's nonetheless something which should be fixed.
