This is a question asked by a lot of husbands and wives as trust is becoming less and less used in relationships. With the social networks popping up all over the internet it’s very easy for your spouses to be engaging in contact with other men/women without you knowing about it. Lots of people cheat on their spouses using the internet as the starting point and with technology nowadays you can view all the information on what your spouse does on your home computer.

If you decide you think its time to take a look at what your spouse has been doing online then you should download a keystroke logger (you can take a look to our recommended list or go to keylogger.org) onto the computer but keep it hidden from all other users. This will key their strokes to their usernames and passwords next time they type them in and now you will have access to all their information. This is a great way to find out if you’re being cheated on through email or social networking sites as you will gain all the passwords from using a keyword logger. 

If your spouse isn’t too smart then they may not even delete the history in which case you can click control + H to show up a list of the last visited sites. Most people will delete their browser history though so this technique may not work so well for everyone. Your best option will definitely be a keylogger if you wish to track your spouse’s online movements.

A keystroke recorder, also known as a keystroke logger is a way of capturing and recording a computer users keystrokes.  These loggers are often used for illegal purposes but can be implemented for legal use as well.  Keystroke loggers can be used to show productivity for clerical staff or by criminals to gain access to your passwords for your bank accounts and other potentially useful information.

Keystroke loggers can be installed in a variety of ways; inline devices that are attached to the keyboard cable, devices which can be installed inside standard keyboards and actual replacement keyboards that contain the key logger already built-in. The most difficult to install is the most difficult to detect naturally.  Keystroke loggers have existed for over ten years and have been used by everyone from criminals to the FBI.  

Having a good antispyware program is essential to avoid being plagued by keystroke loggers.  Responsible program vendors will make sure their programs are up to date and are keeping your computer safe from these programs.  Contrary to popular belief, a firewall does not eliminate keystroke loggers from your system but will cause problems with them sending data back to their owners.
