Programs for covert computer surveillance. Spyware on your computer. How to detect and remove spyware

The computer tracking program that I will talk about in this article is unique in its kind, as it has many advantages that competitors do not have. It's called Expert Home 4. Here's what's special about this tool:

• The program is completely free and works without any restrictions.
• Interface, help and support in Russian.
• Combines many tracking functions.
• It works in invisible mode and is launched using a password and a secret key combination.
• Allows you to encrypt received reports and send them over the Internet.
• The antivirus will not complain.

This computer tracking program is really very interesting and worthy of attention. So, fewer words, let's get down to business!

Expert Home 4 - computer monitoring program

After downloading the installation file, run it. In the first window you need to select a language and click “Next”.

Then agree to the license and click Next.

Now comes the fun part. The computer tracking program will open using a secret key combination consisting of four keys. The first three are Ctrl + Shift + Alt, and the fourth you set yourself. This can be any letter that can be selected from the list.

In the same window there is a field in which you need to enter a password, which will be requested after entering the secret key combination.

After selecting a letter and entering a password, click Next.

Check that all data is correct and click “Install”.

Wait until the installation of Expert Home 4 is completed, and in the last window, click the “Close” button. All! The program has already started working and monitors all user actions. As you will notice, there are no traces of the program running.

To launch a computer monitoring program and view its report, you need to enter a secret key combination. After this, a window will appear in which you should write down the password you created during installation. And then you will see the program interface - the Expert Home 4 control center. It consists of two sections - “Reports” and “Advanced”.

Let me first look at the “Reports” section:

Keyboard. This is a keylogger, that is, here is a report of every key pressed on the keyboard. You can see what the user wrote and in what program. It is possible to choose the date of the report.

Screenshots. The computer tracking program periodically takes hidden screenshots of the screen and you can view them here. It is also possible to select the archive date. In addition, you can manage screenshots using the buttons below.

Programs. Displays which programs were launched and when. You can see the program title, the name of the executable file and other data useful for analysis.

Nutrition. Here you can analyze when the computer was turned on and off.

Activity. The activity of computer users is displayed.

Now I’ll look at the “Advanced” block, which also consists of several important sections.

Internet monitoring. Computer tracking software allows you to transfer report files over the Internet in encrypted form. They can be viewed in the Softex (program developer) file storage. That is, reports can be viewed remotely. To get started, click the “Allow remote tracking” button.

In addition, reports can be sent by email. To do this, you need to click on the link that I showed in the screenshot and enter the required email.

Android app developers have always been known for their ingenuity. Therefore, gadgets based on this mobile system can be used in almost all areas of our lives, even where you might not have guessed. We have prepared for you a selection of spy apps for Android, with which you can definitely surprise your family and friends.

This application is ideal for all curious people and will allow you to wiretap like a real intelligence agent. Ear Agent takes advantage of the built-in microphone of your mobile device, while amplifying the sound many times over. This way, you can hear what people nearby are talking about and always be aware of what is happening.

To use the application, you need to press the large central button and adjust the volume slider. The use of headphones is a prerequisite for optimal performance. Ear Agent is best used in conjunction with a Bluetooth headset. In this case, the smartphone with the application turned on can be left directly at the scene of events, and you can go away to listen to what is happening.

Be careful! Increasing the volume too much causes more sound distortion, which in turn can have a negative impact on your hearing.

To fine-tune the incoming sound signal, the program provides an equalizer, which in some cases is capable of pulling out even a frankly weak sound.

In general, Ear Agent for Android does its job well, even in the free version, which in addition allows you to unlock a widget for quickly turning the microphone on and off. Ear Agent Pro offers an advanced equalizer, noise and echo reduction features, automatic gain control and the ability to record what you listen to.

tinyCam Monitor for Android is a real boon for a spy. This is a fairly popular application among CCTV camera owners. The program can connect and remotely control IP cameras, video recorders, and even cameras of smartphones and laptops (with additional software).

When you first run tinyCam Monitor, it creates several test connections to random public security cameras from around the world. Connecting to the camera is very simple - you just need to specify its IP address and port number. In addition, the program has a scanner that automatically finds open cameras within the network to which the Internet connection is established on your smartphone or tablet. In principle, detailed setup instructions are present both in the application itself and on the developers’ website.

Users can view up to four cameras simultaneously in landscape mode. tinyCam Monitor does a great job of streaming video. If for some reason the broadcast from one camera stops, the image from the others continues to be transmitted normally. A special feature of the application is a sequential mode of operation, in which the image from the cameras automatically changes after a certain period of time. All these features are available to users completely free of charge.

The Pro version of tinyCam Monitor may be necessary if you need to connect more than 4 cameras at the same time. In this case, you get support for up to 16 cameras, cyclic video recording to a memory card or to the cloud, motion and sound detection, the ability to connect in the background and other functions.

There is a category of people who, whenever possible, try to rummage through someone else’s smartphone. If you have something to hide, then this application is for you. Intruder Selfie for Android is your personal informant that will take a photo of everyone who picked up a mobile device without asking.

In fact, this is the only function of the application, and it is implemented quite well. The program runs in the background and can be configured so that it takes pictures with the front camera during successful and unsuccessful attempts to unlock your smartphone, as well as when your device’s screen simply turns on. The user can set the number of attempts to unlock, after which the camera will launch, and the number of photos (from 1 to 5) that the application will take. Intruder Selfie works accurately and does not arouse suspicion in the person who took your smartphone.

Sometimes a situation arises when it is necessary to organize video surveillance, but there is neither the money nor the time to purchase expensive equipment. In this case, any smartphone, even an outdated one, with a Google account and the Alfred application will do.

With Alfred, you can remotely monitor what is happening, for example, at your home, at work, or all at once - the program supports working with several cameras simultaneously. You can organize real covert video surveillance during a meeting with someone without arousing suspicion. The application works in two modes: monitor and camera. Moreover, unlike similar solutions, Alfred allows you to switch them at any time.

In camera mode, the application automatically turns off the screen and starts shooting. Here you can enable motion detection in advance if your smartphone is used as a stationary video surveillance device. In this case, you will receive instant notifications when the camera detects movement.

Alfred offers advanced features in monitoring mode. You can use another smartphone or tablet with an installed application or any PC with Internet access as a monitor. In this mode, all involved cameras are available for viewing. You can see information for each, including connection status and remaining battery power. The remote camera control capabilities are also pleasantly surprising: switching between the main and front cameras, image rotation, flash on/off, night mode, audio transmission and video recording.

Overall, the Alfred app for Android is a pretty decent one. The only disappointment is the low quality of the broadcast, which can be improved by purchasing a paid subscription.

All modern smartphones can record sound from the built-in microphone. If a standard voice recorder does an excellent job of recording calls, then it is better to look for a third-party solution to record ambient sound. Since we need not an ordinary voice recorder, but a secret voice recorder, for these purposes we chose Secret Voice Recorder for Android.

This application allows you to secretly turn on the voice recorder by triple pressing the power button. You can interrupt recording in the same way. The time interval during which the user must press the button is selected in the settings. In addition to power, it is possible to use the volume buttons, although they only work when the screen is on.

Secret Voice Recorder can record sound to the internal memory of the device, to a microSD memory card and to the Google Drive cloud storage. The entire recording process occurs unnoticed, the application runs in the background and does not manifest itself in any way. For convenience, the user can activate vibration to signal the start and end of recording.

If you need to record a video on your smartphone without anyone noticing, this application will come in handy. Background Video Recorder can record video in the background when the screen is off. During the shooting process, the user can actively use the phone for other purposes and, thus, not arouse suspicion among others.

Background Video Recorder is very easy to use and yet has many features and several useful tools such as a simple video editor and a built-in gallery.

The main emphasis of the application is on hiding all traces of the program's activities. Here you can turn off the sound of the camera shutter, change the application icon on the desktop and in the notification panel, and even hide the display of saved video files on your mobile device.

Background Video Recorder allows you to pre-configure the recording process: select the camera, where to save the video, the orientation and resolution of the image, determine the mode of autofocus, microphone, flash and other options. Unfortunately, the program does not provide for the use of button combinations for quick activation. But there is a widget and a recording scheduler.

Background Video Recorder Android app is completely free and has no limitations. It can also save recorded video to the Google cloud.

Attention! This article and its applications should not be considered as recommendations for tracking and espionage. Remember that everyone has the right to privacy and personal space.

Monitoring the work of computer technology helps organizational leaders to fully establish operational efficiency. The same applies to parents’ control over their own children while they are away from home. For this there are special Spy programs for computer, which can show with whom and at what time the correspondence was carried out, which Internet pages were entered, etc.

This software has nothing to do with Trojans, because these utilities are installed by computer owners and system administrators themselves, and they do not cause any harm. Trojans significantly reduce computer performance, steal data, and their distributors automatically become criminals, which can lead to criminal liability. As a rule, company employees are aware of installed control programs. But sometimes there are cases when the manager does not do this in order to get an idea about the person: is he responsible, does he transfer commercial data to third parties, etc.
Let's look at several computer spy programs that monitor page visits, correspondence, etc.

Refers to universal utilities that can monitor the actions of a remote computer. Already at the installation stage, the program will be hidden from prying eyes. It is almost impossible to detect and disable, even when viewing processes and running applications in the task manager. Only if you have administrator rights, it will appear as shortcuts and workgroups in the appropriate places (Start menu, task manager, folders with installed applications, etc.).

NeoSpy functionality:

• control of typing on the keyboard;
• viewing visited Internet pages;
• viewing user actions in real time;
• taking screenshots of the desktop, as well as pictures from the webcam (if installed);
  downtime control;
• identification of equipment that was connected to the computer (flash drives, external hard drives, etc.);
• tracking documents that were printed;
• indicate the current location of the computer.

These are just a few of the features, but they give you an idea that NeoSpy has many features at its disposal that will provide complete control over your computing equipment from a distance.

Real Spy Monitor has many tools that can monitor . As a rule, it is used by parents to control their children, because this utility contains tools that allow you to prohibit certain actions (including visiting certain pages, launching games, etc.). Also in Real Spy Monitor you can configure each user profile separately. And although the interface is in English, it is intuitive and will not cause any problems when using this program.

A significant disadvantage of this utility is the fact that it is not free. To use it you will need to shell out about $40.

In addition to the applications discussed, there are also others (SpyGo, Snitch, etc.) that have all the basic tools for providing control over your computer.

How can I find installed spyware on my computer?

These programs are quite difficult to find. One way would be to scan the system, which can recognize the spy utility as malware. But this is only possible if the system administrator has not added it to the antivirus exceptions. But again, looking at the exceptions may reveal that a similar program is present on this computer.

As a counterbalance to this software, some employees use third-party utilities that block messages from being sent to an administrator or manager. This is necessary for those people who categorically do not want their work on the computer to be completely controlled.

How Mipko Personal Monitor works

No matter how much you want, but, for example, “blocking” a child’s access to dubious resources beyond his age is quite difficult. In addition, with a little digging on the Internet, inquisitive young people will find a way to get around any obstacles.

If you are worried about your children and want to know what sites they visit, where, with whom and what they communicate, then Mipko Personal Monitor is the best solution. Why?

The program does not show itself in any way on the computer. The user does not even suspect its existence. At the same time, Mipko Personal Monitor collects a complete report on its actions and records everything that happens. What does it look like?

For example, as soon as your child logs into VKontakte or logs into Skype, Mipko Personal Monitor immediately records all his actions. For example, it records voice calls, saves correspondence history, records pages viewed, and so on. You receive the corresponding reports by email.

In addition, all copies of reports are stored on the computer's hard drive. However, a person who does not know about Mipko Personal Monitor will not find them. After all, the corresponding folder is hidden very deeply, and the reports themselves are stored in encrypted form, and only Mipko Personal Monitor can read them.

“I have been using your program for almost a year now - it has proven to be a very reliable tool with which I have never had any problems. I’m also pleased with the performance of the program - it works almost unnoticeably.”

Vitaly Makushev

Simplicity and elegance

Mipko Personal Monitor is a home keylogger. It does not have unnecessary functions that are in demand by corporate clients, but are absolutely meaningless on a home computer.

As a result, the program interface itself turned out to be very simple and understandable. Like an iPhone, which even a non-technical person can figure out in 5 minutes. At the same time, the capabilities of Mipko Personal Monitor are as wide as possible and will more than satisfy even the most demanding user.

“I’ve been using your program for a long time. I like the interface and functionality of the program, and most importantly, its performance. I also see that you have not abandoned this project, updates and corrections are constantly being made. For which special thanks to you.”

Mikhail Zinoviev

• - Mipko Personal Monitor has a completely Russian-language interface and technical support.
• - You are not left alone with the program, but receive any help and support from us, even during the free testing period.
• - You decide how much hard drive space to allocate for storing Mipko Personal Monitor recordings, and this limit will never be exceeded.
• - You always know with whom and what your child or loved one communicates, as well as with whom he makes appointments.

“Before I started using it, I tried many alternative keyloggers (I don’t remember the names anymore). Your program attracted me with its ease of use and clarity of results.”

Sergey Minaev

Mipko Personal Monitor and antiviruses

Legally, Mipko Personal Monitor is not spyware or malware according to the antivirus classification. Essentially, it is an observer program that monitors what is happening on the computer and does not store any personal data about the user.

At the same time, only the administrator (owner) of the computer can install Mipko Personal Monitor by entering the appropriate password. This ensures the program is legal and legal from the point of view of the vast majority of antiviruses. As a result, they do not react at all to Mipko Personal Monitor.

However, some antivirus programs (no more than 5%) may interfere with the installation and operation of Mipko Personal Monitor. Then just let us know and we will send you step-by-step instructions on how to pair Mipko Personal Monitor with your antivirus.

“I’m glad that the program is hidden, does not load the computer and works completely offline.”

Do you already have these questions?

How to deal with the safety of personal data?

Mipko Personal Monitor does not collect personal data and, moreover, does not send it to us. All information is stored on your computer and sent to you by email. In this case, all letters are sent directly, bypassing our servers.

I'm on your own computer, can I install Mipko Personal Monitor?

Yes, you can. The program interface is extremely simple. You literally only need to press two buttons and follow detailed instructions. In addition, we are always ready to provide any assistance in this matter.

What should I do if I have problems with Mipko Personal Monitor?

Contact our support team and we will quickly resolve all issues.

“I have been a user of your program for quite a long time. I like the fact that the program has practically no analogues, helping out even in the most difficult cases. “I have a growing son, and it is very important for my wife and I to know in which direction his interests are developing.”

Computer spy software will help you find out what your child or employee is doing on the computer, and will also clarify what sites they visit, with whom they communicate, and what they write to.

For this purpose, there are spy programs - a special type of software that, unnoticed by the user, collects information about all his actions.

Computer spy software will solve this problem.

Spyware for a computer should not be confused with a Trojan: the first is absolutely legitimate and is installed with the knowledge of the administrator, the second gets onto the PC illegally and carries out hidden malicious activities.

However, hackers can also use legitimate tracking programs.

Spyware applications are most often installed by business managers and system administrators to monitor employees, parents to spy on children, jealous spouses, etc.

In this case, the “victim” may know that he is being monitored, but most often he does not know.

Review and comparison of five popular spyware programs

NeoSpy

NeoSpy is a universal spy program for the keyboard, screen and user actions. NeoSpy works invisibly and can hide its presence even during installation.

The user who installs the program has the opportunity to choose one of two installation modes - administrator and hidden.

In the first mode, the program is installed openly - it creates a shortcut on the desktop and a folder in the Program Files directory, in the second - hidden.

Program processes do not appear in Windows Task Manager and third-party task managers.

The functionality of NeoSpy is quite wide and the program can be used both as home monitoring and in offices to monitor employees.

Real Spy Monitor

The next spy is Real Spy Monitor. This English-language program not only has tracking functions, but can also block certain actions on .

Therefore, it is often used as a parental control tool.

For each account in the Real Spy Monitor settings, you can create your own, for example, for visiting certain sites.

Actual Spy is positioned by its developers as a keylogger (keylogger), although the program can do more than just record keystrokes.

It monitors the contents of the clipboard, takes screenshots, monitors site visits, and other things that are included in the main set of spies we examined.

When installed, Actual Spy creates a shortcut in the Start menu so it can be noticed by the user.

The launch also occurs openly - to hide the program window you need to press certain keys.

Actual Spy's capabilities are not much different from those of its competitors. Among the shortcomings, users noted that it correctly records keystrokes only in the English layout.
