I use Spector Pro 2011 . It is a stealth program that takes a snapshot of the screen whenever the mouse clicks .
Didn't pay for it , just downloaded via torrent .Works fine for about 5 years on win xp .

Cant you setup different user accounts with one being admin? Being you, admin can set access to who can use what on the computer?

This may help:

1. Tell this person(s) to get their own PC.

2. If your a parent buy your kid a cheap PC.

3. Put a new password on your PC and don't let anyone use your PC ever.

4. Get a pinhole usb camera pointing to your PC monitor that captures all the screenshots. (Spy vs Spy LOLZ)

Keyloggers seem cool though.

Hope this helps.

My neighbor bought a 4 camera security system for $86 + hard drive.

I was dubious at first, but after helping him set it up - I want one.

It would be an alternative, though it would mean spying on housemate.

Mine work great! People get used to them after a while.

Mine are Wi-fi enabled allowing me to check on phone. Motion shots auto uploaded to FTP server, emailed if you want.

Good Luck

The one I am going to get.

Been playing around with digital video since around 2002.

I remember buying an MSI Pentium motherboard at PC Club on Clairmont Mesa in Nov. 2002.

I was scared out of the water by a shark, and was still wearing my wet-suit when I walked into PC Club.

I love the convenience of apres-dive shopping with a wetsuit. If you need to pee, you can stand in the parking lot while it dribbles out of the leg neoprene.

"Oh that puddle, oh yes, I spilled my Starbuck's".

"Why is it yellow ?"

I liked that motherboard because it had decent onboard video (for Win2K) so you could create a video recorder 1 3/4 high though maybe 12" x 18".

So anyway, how do you keep housemates or really strange burglars off a home computer ?

1) Turn off computer when you leave

2) Password protected login

3) Key logger - Google it

4) encrypt your hard drive

Good Luck
