Activity Monitor was developed for monitoring employees, students, workers, tracking the usage of public computers in libraries or spying on individual network attached PC.

Managers can see typed keystrokes in real time, take snapshots of the remote screen, view what programs are open, stop inappropriate programs, view visited web sites, send instant messages, copy files from a remote PC and control computers remotely. This program will also record every email and instant message sent and received by users on all computers.

Keylogger module records, in addition to English keystrokes, any characters in Asian languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and recognizes accented characters in such languages as German, Spanish and Portuguese, for example. User activities on all computers can be kept in the Central Log Database located on the main computer.
 
Managers can open this central storage in Log Viewer to see different reports. Reports show what programs users started, how long they worked with each one; top programs by time spent in them; keystrokes typed in every program; e-mails sent and received; IM chats; visited websites. Only authorized users can monitor computes as the access is password protected.

Note: Due to this program's some antivirus and antispyware products flag Activity Monitor as being infected / malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous ( inoffensive ) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.]
