Information Addicts

I first came across the KeyKatcher gadget last year, by a friend of mine who runs his own business. He knew one of his employees was accessing an unauthorized PC and needed to find out who. Using the KeyKatcher, not only did my friend find out who it was, what internet sites they had been on, but also everything he had typed.

The KeyKatcher is very simplistic, easy to use, that could prove to be a very valuable tool for many people.
Below are some suggestions for its uses:

• Small business users who want to find out which employees are accessing unauthorized computers, or using applications when they are not allowed
• Home users who want to monitor unauthorized access to their computer or network.
• You can use it to troubleshoot or make fixes by tracing back through a users command sequence.
• Protect your children from the ever-present dangers on the Internet
• Recover a letter or an email that you where writing when Windows locks up

Many applications are available on the internet to download and use to capture key strokes, however you need to install it on every pc that you want to trace. With KeyKatcher you don’t need to install any software. Key Katcher simply plugs in between your keyboard and your computer, and it is very discrete.

All keystrokes are stored in non-volatile memory, this mean if there is a loss of power or the PC is switched off, the information will not be lost.
To access the recorded information, type in the password that you created in the text editor and a menu is diplayed. You can view all the data, export it, delete it, search for keywords, view website addresses typed in and much more.

Below are some of its features:

• It is Portable - move it from computer to computer.
• Installs in seconds - Just plug it in.
• Uses no system resources. Truly runs in the background.
• Works with all PC Operating Systems with PS/2 keyboards. USB version available here
• Data is retained even during system lock-ups and power outages.
• No Software to learn. Use in conjunction with programs you already know.

Overall this is neat piece of gadgetry and so simple to use, however some people might be put off by its price. At the end of the day it depends on how much you value your secure information, security, or your childrens safety.

Highly recommended.
