Keyboard Monitor™ Press Release

Sammamish, WA -- Sept 23, 1998 -- Tropical Software today announced the release of Keyboard Monitor™, an application which allows PC owners to monitor what is typed on their computer. The program is compatible with Windows 3.1, 95 and 98.

Simple and Useful

When activated, Keyboard Monitor™ records every keystroke entered until deactivated. The PC owner can thus keep an eye on all chat room and email activities taking place on the machine. Both the Keyboard Monitor™ program and the recorded information are password protected in order to insure that only the master user(s) has access. The password is supplied by the master user at the time of installation.

Keyboard Monitor™ cannot be circumvented by those without the proper password. The program can be set to turn on automatically when Windows starts, allowing recording to continue even when the machine is turned off or rebooted. Keyboard Monitor™ can also be run as an invisible background process*.

There are numerous applications of this handy software. Parents of children or teenagers who are active in chat rooms can insure that strangers are not taking advantage of them. Internet searches for web sites of questionable content will also be detected. Keyboard Monitor™ can also help prevent questionable activities from taking place on company computers. And if one suspects that his or her spouse is cyber-cheating, Keyboard Monitor™ is the perfect way to find out about it.

Even the most unsophisticated PC users will be able to effectively use Keyboard Monitor™. The interface is extremely straight forward and intuitive, with one screen for program settings and one for viewing the recorded data.

Tropical Software

Keyboard Monitor™ is the latest in a line of useful privacy and security applications released by Tropical Software. Other popular programs include Private Encryptor™, an encryption utility, and PC Security™, a program which provides a variety of security options to PC users. Keyboard Monitor™ continues the tradition of providing simple but powerful utilities which allow users to maintain control over their machines and data.

*It may be illegal to have Keyboard Monitor™ invisible without the user's knowledge.
