Ardamax Keylogger for Windows

Product overview

Ardamax Keylogger is a monitoring application from Ardamax Software that records user activity on a Windows PC and stores those records in an encrypted area accessible only to administrators. It captures typed input, on-screen activity, and media streams, and can export logs in readable formats for later review.

Who typically uses it

• Employers who want visibility into which applications and websites are being accessed on company machines.
• Parents wishing to keep track of their children’s online behavior and interactions.
• Classroom instructors or lab supervisors checking whether students are visiting unauthorized sites during lessons.

Stealth mode and remote administration

The program can operate in an invisible state so regular users won’t detect its presence. When hidden, it does not appear in menus, the system tray, Task Manager, startup lists, or the uninstall panel. Remote features let administrators deploy and manage the software from another location, including automatic observation and scheduled reporting. A continuous monitoring mode can be enabled to maintain active oversight and deliver alerts.

Logs and captured data can be transmitted to external destinations. Common delivery options include:

• FTP server
• Network share or centralized storage
• Email to the administrator

Methods for collecting evidence

The application collects multiple types of data that can serve as proof of user activity:

• Periodic screenshots and the ability to take photos using connected or built-in cameras to confirm identity and visible behavior.
• Keystroke capture that records typed input for later examination of chats, credentials, and other entries.
• Audio recording from internal or external microphones, usable for monitoring voice chats and calls.
• Saved images and other media sent into the encrypted storage area for administrator review.

Captured files are protected by configurable passwords and encryption, which helps prevent unauthorized viewing or tampering with the logs.

Continuous surveillance and reporting

Combining visual, audio and textual records, the tool is intended to provide a comprehensive audit trail of user sessions. Administrators can use these records to detect anomalies, verify incidents, and maintain security and policy compliance across managed computers.
