Features which make it unique are its powerful keyboard logger - so powerful, it even logs the keystrokes entered during Windows 2000/XP login. And ActMon has a unique "kernel-level" file protection: Files are not just hidden! They are completely inaccessible to unauthorized users. Files cannot be removed or manipulated by an unauthorized user or so called spyware "cleaner" applications or any other Windows software!

View all computer activities with the built-in screenshot recorder. It displays the current window or program that is running on your computer. All information is stored in strongly encrypted, compact log files, that can be easily archived. ActMon can hide the logs on the monitored PC or send them via network or email.

The monitoring can be opted to be invisible to the user and ActMon is protected against manipulation: The program runs completely maintenance free. Activity data is sensitive data, and ActMon prevents unauthorized access to the log files and screenshots using the strong U.S. government approved AES/Rijndael 256-bit encryption. The interface is comprehensive and user-friendly. It has a wizard-driven installation making it extremely easy to set up and use. The setup is password protected thereby preventing unauthorized uninstallation.

The PRO Edition has flexible network functions to send and receive reports via the Internet or the corporate LAN. It is a better alternative to standard filtering and blocking software because those who brought this tool for you made this tool not only user-friendly but a friend of the user too.
