WinSession Logger is an advanced keylogger that undergoes constant development, with and update or new release around every two to six months. Several times at year we test other keyloggers, here we show features that we found in a few of keyloggers, these are popular, others like PC Acme are mode undetectable, but has a high price. Features of the current version 3.x aren't shown here.

As you can see every programs has it's pros and cons. Some of them with "very advanced" features could make to slow down your computer when they are running with a lot of options enabled.
This happens when the software is making image conversions, images compressions, strings comparison, encrypting and decryption of logs files, etc. WinSession Logger has a very low CPU usage compared with other, older surveillance software.
Conclusion: WinSession Logger is a local keylogger, remote deployment keylogger, parental control and more.
Features shown in this table are our results of testing the evaluations versions of a few of surveillance software.. Testing was made with a compatible computer running Microsoft Windows XP Pro.
