Full Review

If you are looking for a simple and easy to use keylogger, Free Keylogger is not a bad choice for a number of reasons. First of all, just like its name implies, it is free of charge, but that does not mean that it lacks in features that make it a good keylogging software.

It successfully records all keystrokes and monitors PC activity at all times without being detectable by the user. Each time a user strikes a key, Free Keylogger records it and files it on your hard drive so you can view it later - you don’t have to monitor the key strikesin real time and you can come back to check the older records whenever you feel like it.

However, one of the biggest plusses of this free keylogging software is the fact that is it super easy to use and set up. It only has one small window with several simple controls so even if you are not much of a techie, you will be able to use it to monitor PC activity of your children or your workers during their office hours.

On the other hand, there are other potential uses for this software besides monitoring someone’s PC activity. For example, some people use it as a simple text recovery tool to ensure that they will never lose any of the things they typed on their computer. This means that if you are, for example, a writer, you might use it as a imple way of backing up all of your texts, articles, and other forms of writings.On top of that, you can hide or unhide the software with a secret hotkey at any time or, if you decide to disable it and take a break from the keylogging, you can do that as well.

And while Free Keylogger does not come with a wide variety of advanced features, it performs all basic tasks that one would expect from a keylogging software flawlessly. This means that if all you need from your keylogger is a basic recording of keystrokes and storing them safely on your hard drive, you don’t have to worry about the quality of this program because it will perform the abovementioned tasks for you 24/7.

However, there is a slight downside to the Free Keylogger and that is a number of ethical questions about this software. Aside from the (non)morality of recording someone’s PC activity, the users sometimes wonder about the quality of this software due to the language that is at times completely off. Basically, if you encounter some English words or phrases that don’t make any sense, don’t be too surprised because this as been reported to happen from time to time with this software.

And while the language and its quality does seem a little bit suspicious at times, there have not been any particular issues reported about the performance of this keylogger itself. So far, it seems that the majority of users are happy about how this software is working from what we have tested, we can confirm that it fulfills all of our basic keylogging expectations.
