Computer Security & Viruses/keylogger

Question
Could recommend a keylogger.  I currently have 007 but my anti-virus which is Mcafee sometimes deletes it with updates and I have to write the company for advise and it takes forever to get a response.  thanks

Answer
Hi Jan

For the most part, McAfee is doing the right thing.  Keyloggers are generally considered malware and many viruses contain keyloggers in them.  The fact that 007 is a "good" keylogger doesn't make a difference to McAfee.  I think you will find that any keylogger you install will be flagged.  You can "teach" many antivirus programs to ignore certain programs and files, but I am not sure if McAfee has that option.  If you still would like to try another program, look into Family Cyber Alert here:
