I have downloaded a keylogger program on my laptop that I'm trying out. Will download it on our desktop that WW will be taking to her apt as well.

My problem is I don't know how to set up the email log feature since I won't have physical access. How do I do this? Would I actually have to have her ISP information to do so. Is there a way I can do it with some other web based email?

Is there a better keylogging program that the program itself has the ability to email without using the ISP?

Any help would be much appreciated, and I don't have a lot of time.

Thanks
Scotty

Be careful of recent XP security features that prevent email from automatically sending or forwarding mail. A confirmation window pops up from within Outlook notifying the user when any external/resident program accesses the outbox.

There is a way around it I am told, but I don't know what it is.

I wrote my own Visual Basic program that runs inside Outlook with this capability but I cannot disseminate it without certain unwanted legal liabilities. Sorry.


However, I have to ask why you want to do this. I don't use my program anymore 'cause I don't care that much any longer.

You and WW are living apart, D is a signature away, and you post that you don't care any more either. So why continue to spy?

It is very true that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially in matters of the heart. Spying like this will not really tell you what you need to know, what is in her head.

Plan B would be much better at this point.

You cannot fix what is wrong with her, Scotty. Just let her go, and start a great new life of your own.

Start today!

IMO.

Spector pro will not email the information but there other program Eblaster will. It will aslo run invisible to the user. Some Virus programs can detect it. It does not use your outlook outbox it uses its own server and email program

Good luck

Thanks BIC. actmon will email the reports invisibly. I just read about another one that is supposed to blow them all away called Webwatcher. It monitors the computer in REAL TIME, supposedly, from a remote computer PLUS sends the reports. I just read about it on CNet the other day. http://www.wellresearchedreviews.com/com...CFRorWAodDh2LZA

I'm kinda with Aphelion on this one. I just filed for a D recently, a week and a half actually. I used a keylogger to catch the WW chatting with her second boyfriend in 4 weeks through AOL. I moved out to avoid any domestic violence I was starting to smell, if you are separating, and there may be any hope of fixing it, you may want to think twice about putting that on her computer. If she finds it on there, it would cause more harm than good.

Sometimes letting go is the only way to see if they will really come back. If she doesn't, then you can move on quicker.

You know, technically if she is living apart from you, installing a keylogger on her computer and monitoring her activities is illegal. It is a violation of her privacy, and no matter how terrible she is, YOU will go to jail before she ever could.

I believe it is HIS computer, so he is perfectly within his rights to do so. He is an attorney, btw.

Is it his? It sounded like he was trying to put this on her computer, in a different physical location, ie she doesn't live with him anymore?

Yes, one could argue that, if they are still married, it still constitutes his property, but that might be difficult to defend in court.

And, telling me he's an attorney does nothing to make me feel better about the situation... remember, they get paid to find ways AROUND the laws, after all. :P

I would have to agree with RogueX here. It is not clear that the computer is Scotty’s computer anymore. At the very least, this is a fact that would be disputed in court. Should the court or finder(s) of facts find that the computer belongs to Scotty’s WW, Scotty would be in a deep load of trouble.

Scotty, as Learned Hand famously said, you should do a cost-benefit analysis when face with a situation like this. The keylogger would at most confirm what you already know, namely, that your WW has screwed at least two men in the last year. What you need are facts that can really confirm this and be presented in court, i.e., have your PI acquire this requisite evidence, and to move on. The risks are not worth the benefits here. You already know what you need to know. It is not worth losing your hard earned and expensive law license over some obsession or over your cheating, lying WW. IMO, the choice is clear, you do the math.

Good luck.
