Top 15 Best Free Keylogger Softwares to Monitor Keystrokes in Windows

In order to check the keystrokes that are typed on the keyboard, record the passwords and encrypt sensitive information, certain keyloggers are available in the market. Namely, there are two forms of keyloggers that are available out there for usage. One of them is in the form of hardware while the other is a software.

Taking into consideration the usage of the Keyloggers, you could monitor the activities of your children on the internet using this tool. In addition, in the age of social media where children often make friends with strangers, you could make sure that your children stay safe while on the Internet. In case you are an employer and fear that any of your subordinate could leak confidential files, Keylogger could help you to avert this situation.

It should be noted that the aforementioned paragraph takes into account the legal uses of the Keylogger. However, as is the case with every software that is available on the internet, keyloggers could also be used for illegal purposes.

By installing them on the computer of your friend, you could get out the password and other personal information from his/her PC.

The hardware based Keylogger has its disadvantages due to its enhanced visibility. Since it is always connected amid the port of the keyboard and the USB, hardware Keylogger could be easily detected by the user and he/she might become alert.

Therefore, the keyloggers that are used in the form of hardware might not have their desired effects.

On the other hand in the case of a software Keylogger, one of its biggest advantages is its ability to go incognito. For example, just like a background windows program that is running on your computer, the software Keylogger won’t be detected by the user. As a result, the user will not be alerted by its presence and the core purpose for the usage of the software is met.

Thus, if you ask me, I would always recommend to use Keylogger softwares in case you are planning to monitor your colleagues and/or employees. While most of them are available for free to download, some of them cost bucks. Obviously, the premium keyloggers cost money and they offer better invisibility as a result of which it becomes virtually impossible for any user to detect their presence.

However, being human beings, we want things for free and this is where the free keyloggers come into play. The might offer little protection, but you could always try the next one in case one of them is detected by the user.
