As you can see
every software 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 others
olders surveillance softwares.
Severals times at year are tested other keyloggers, here we show features that we found in a few of keyloggers, these are popular, others like PC Acme Pro is mode indetectable, but has a high price, now WinSession Logger 3 also is completelly invisible in the process list and doesn't cost $149.00.
About the invisibility in the process list, others sellers of keyloggers are saying "my software is undetectable in the process list", but that's not true, because they used to execute the process "svchost.exe" or other exe with a special name similar to one of the exes that Windows uses internally, but from other folder diferent of the usual windows\system32, for example Wiretap, Spy Anyware, etc. Use Anvir or other utility and you will see the true.
Conclusion: WinSession
Logger is a local key logger, remote deployment key logger,
parental control and more, a simple and high value software with a modest cost.
Features shown in this table are our results of
testing the evaluations versions of a few of survillance softwares..
Testing was made with a compatible computer running Microsoft
Windows XP Pro.
