In this section you will learn the steps to install Revealer Keylogger on your Computer. Revealer Keylogger is one of the keyloggers that we have tested and therefore can recommend. The official website where you can download the application is https://www.logixoft.com/ .
Before downloading the program your will need to temporarily turn off any antivirus or antimalware program. Revealer Keylogger – as all Keyloggers presented on this website – is completely save to use. However, some antivirus software can raise a flag, because it is a keylogger and keyloggers are considered as potentially unwanted programs by antivirus software. Here is how to temporarily turn off Windows Defender, the build-in Windows antivirus software:

1. Open the Windows Defender Security Center

2. Click Virus and thread protection

3. Click Virus and Thread protection settings

4. Turn off the real-time protection

Windows Defender is now disabled. Next you can download Revealer Keylogger. Open the Email that was sent to you after purchase and click the download link.

The Download is from mega.nz:

When the file is downloaded, click on it. Next double-klick on the setup file and click run:

Then enter the password 123:

Click install now:

Copy and paste your product key in the field that appears:

This is the mentioned field, then click continue:

Revealer Keylogger is now installed on your computer.

As a last step, Revealer Keylogger should be added to the exclusion list of your antivirus software to avoid detection:

Revealer Keylogger automatically adds to the exclusion list of Windows Defender.

If this is the only antivirus you have there is nothing else to do. You can now turn on the antivirus protection and start monitoring with Revealer Keylogger.

How to install Spector Keylogger

In this section you will learn how to install Spector Keylogger, another good keylogger to choose from. You can download the Keylogger from the official website on https://www.spytector.com/ .

Before downloading the program your will also need to temporarily turn off any antivirus or antimalware program – as was the case with Revealer Keylogger and as is the case with all keylogers. Again: antivirus software can raise a flag, because it is a keylogger and keyloggers are considered as potentially unwanted programs by antivirus software. That is why you should first take into account the steps that were written about antivirus settings adjustments for the Revealer Keylogger.

There are many of customizations that can be  done on the top menu. This can improve the keylogger accuracy and potential, but also makes it more complex. On the main settings you can change the interface language and also password protect the program:

On Basic settings you can configure the keylogger file name and icon:

On Email settings and FTP settings you can configure the keylogger to send the logs to your email and FTP accounts:

On the module settings you can tweak Spytector Keylogger even further offering a lot of adjustments and settings to choose from: It can be configured to display a warning message when running (show message) or to automatically uninstall itself. And you can configure an uninstall hotkey. Even more Spytector can be configured to restrict the access to specified websites and applications.

On Logs options you can configure a filter and the keylogger will be active only for specified websites/programs.

Finally the configuration is set up. Now you must build the server file clicking build module button. All settings will be appended to the built server. The saved server is the actual spy software. You must double-click/run the built server/module on the computer you want to monitor and the monitoring will start.

How to install SpyAgent Keylogger

In this section you will learn how to install SpyAgent Keylogger, another good keylogger to choose from. You can download the Keylogger from the official website https://www.spytech-web.com/ .

Before installing SpyAgent you again may need to take some preparatory steps to get your computer ready for its installation: the adjustments in the antivirus settings. You can again read the section in Revealer Keylogger in which you learn how to adjust the Windows Defender antivirus to define the exception. Here it should again be described some words on how to make these antivirus adjustments. Also with SpyAgent you must take into account some more things:

First, if you have any antivirus or antispyware software installed you must disable it temporarily. Any auto-protect or real-time scanning features should be turned off at this time. When you are done installing SpyAgent you will be able to exclude SpyAgent's files from your antivirus's scanning.

Second, if you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, 8 or 10 or higher you may have to disable the UAC feature that Windows uses if it is enabled.

Third, ensure you are installing under an account with Administrator access. In Windows Vista or Windows 7, 8, 10 or higher you can right click on the SpyAgent installation file you downloaded and choose the 'Run as Administrator' command to ensure this if you are not sure if your user account is an administrator or not. This is not necessary for other Keyloggers, but in the case of SpyAgent you must do that unfortunately.
 
Turning off and on the UAC feature

Step 1:
To access the UAC settings "UAC" (no quotes) into your Start button's "Search programs and files" box, or Control Panel search box. Click the "Change User Account Control settings" link that appears.

Step 2:
In the User Account Control Settings screen drag the slider down to "Never notify" and click OK. Accept any confirmation prompts to continue.

Step 3:
Reboot your computer.
