    if you're concerned about security following the above post, instead of a keylogger, what about this = http://camstudio.org/

    I'd wager that if your partner doesn't realise you suspect he's cheating, then he won't go looking for programs running in the background ;)

    The legal (and sensible) way is to ask him.


    I have obviously done that(asked him)...many times. His funny behaviour has been going on for some time now and he is obviously never going to admit to cheating because even if he hated me, he would never want to risk losing his kids!

    He wouldn't take money as we have it all in a joint account he would have to come up with a fine story to justify that.....and seeing as he has never bought me a present for years he couldn't even say it was for me.

    Who does the computer belong too that you intend installing the keylogger onto?

    I didn't mean he might take the money, you've installed an unspecified keylogger, you're every key stroke could be winging it's way to Russia as we speak.

    Pete - Thank you....I have tried looking on the internet but as I say I am very limited in tech know how, I can't really understand what they are telling me to do!

    Rob - I realise our relationship may already be over, but I am hoping I am just being overly paranoid and hormonal and am getting it all wrong.......Praying and hoping, believe me the last thing I want is to be proven right, but he knows everything about computers and is good at hiding things on them. He is acting so secretive lately. I am getting desperate, without going all Jeremy Kyle, I have even resorted to e-mailing him and he has basically ignored me and is hoping it will all blow over, so he can just carry on (I assume)

    Maybe I would be best just buying the hardware ones I have seen, they can't send info to anyone else can they......

    It is the family computer, we have a mian computer and a laptop...I generally use the laptop as the pc is better for his online games!! I only really browse the net, ebay, mse, baby forums etc.... The kids mainly use their consoles

    Oh right.....I mainly do any banking stuff on the laptop as I am in charge of finances....I will do that removal thing as soon as I get a chance thank you, I didn't even consider that, I am so gullible

    Don't see how that'd help. I've recently started to use that very same software for making tutorials. The user is MEANT to be aware it's recording, not sure it can be repurposed into something equivalent to logging.

    I believe it is illegal to install a keylogger onto a computer/laptop which does not belong to you.
    As it is a family computer and which I assume was paid for with a joint account it still would be illegal to do this without your husbands permission or knowledge.

    Anyway all this is a moot point as your husband could read this thread assuming he knows your MSE ID?

    Thank You all for you help, I am not entirely sure where to go from here, but don't want to anything illegal or anything that may be a security risk to the computer...I don't really want to do it at all, I have been agonising over it for a week or so and just thought I would be less stressed knowing one way or the other, than by the fact that I spyed on my own husband!!

    Not sure if that is entirely true though we have been together 15yrs I am in pieces with all this..

    Thanks again for the helpful comments and advice xx

    the point I was making Donnie was that we shouldn't judge.....

    This is pure nonsense.

    Would you have the same attitude if someone asked here how to make an explosive device?

    For all we know they may just need it to dislodge an obstinate tree root. But common sense says no.
