AppsTraka: What is AppsTraka?

What has your child been doing on the Internet for so many hours? Has he or she been contacted by people with dubious intention? Is she going out to meet that person right now? Chances are that you may never get confirmed answers to these questions, or it might be too late for you to act on them. Therefore, complete computer surveillance is almost compulsory for any computer and Internet connection used by a non-adult person.

 

AppsTraka by Odisoft Solutions is one such software that is available in the market. It is a very good basic computer surveillance software, and does not have the usual bells and whistles attached with such software, that makes it easy to use, but quite less on features and advantages.

 

The software keeps a record of every keystroke that has gone into the computer. It also keeps a record of every file and folder accessed by the user and the amount of time that the particular file, software or folder was kept open. The software also keeps a log of the screen captures. These logs can then be sent to a predetermined e-mail address.

 

The software has stealth surveillance, which means that the software can work while being invisible in the background. Such softwares do not take up much of the RAM or processing power of the computer, and therefore unsuspecting people who use the computer will never even know that some computer surveillance software has been installed on the particular computer.

 

AppsTraka is priced at 30$. With its ease of use, I would like to rate this software at 8 on the scale of 1 to 10.
