SA Spy is a home or office security utility designed to help you get a clear image of your computer usage while you are away. That is, of course, if you share your computer with your family or your colleagues.

The most important feature of this application is the fact that it can log all computer activity. Another crucial aspect is the fact that after installation, it can be run in stealth mode, so that no one will know that their activity is being logged.

The program can be set to log keystrokes, used programs and visited websites. You can also set the program to automatically take screenshots and save them in a folder for later viewing. All activity will be recorded into logs and screenshots for your later inspection. The logs can be limited to a certain number of characters in order to be sent via email. If you are away and wish check the logs as soon as possible, you can enter your email details so that the program should send automatically emails containing the reports.

It's best to set the program to run at Windows Startup in stealth mode. Toggling in and out of stealth mode can be done using a hotkey. You can protect the program with a password in case someone might want to mess with it.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: When trying to enter the stealth mode, the program would produce a runtime error and immediately shut down (Windows Vista HomePremium). When started in stealth mode, the program works fine.

In conclusion: Apart from that stability issue, this application would be a very good tool for you to spy on your co-workers or family.
