    I have similar questions about another utility:
    
    Has anyone used Spy Agent 4.0 from:
    http://www.internet-monitoring-spy-software.com/spyagent.htm
    
    I want to verify the following claims:
    
    The website states that the software is "completely
    hidden within your computer system after installation.
     The ONLY way to access it is by typing the password
    on your keyboard".  I am concerned that it might
    impact network or disk i/o performance noticeably, not
    just that it will show up in the task list.
    
    It supposedly can "have all recorded activity logs
    emailed to your email address every xxx minutes" --
    but what about when the Internet connection is
    dial-up?  Obviously you wouldn't want a hidden program
    to *initiate* a connection.  Can that function sleep
    until another dial-up connection is established and
    then discreetly send the data?
    
    "Spy Agent has the ability to log all passwords used
    during monitoring sessions. These include Windows
    logon passwords, chat clients, e-mail passwords, etc."
     Does that include Hotmail or other web-based email?
    
    My client dropped the prior utility (Spysoft) since he
    was unable to download it successfully :/  I now plan
    to test Spyagent utility with these questions in mind.
     My client is installing it on a target machine before
    I have a chance to test so I am interested in anyone's
    experience with it.
