1. Introduction
----------------
AB System Spy allows you to record any activity on your computer. The log file can
be saved in TXT or HTM format. It will record all the keys pressed, pastes from
clipboard, all the running processes. A scheduler, a screen capturer are included.
If you save the log in HTML format, it will be added a link to the saved image so
you can easily browse it. You can capture all the desktop or only one window. The
picture of the window can be saved as BMP or in JPG format. You can choose the
JPG's quality. You can capture the screen when a new window got focus or at fixed
time intervals. For logs in HTML format, in order to make it very easy to understand,
the colors of the fonts are different. You can protect the access to this software
with a password. The application can run minimized in SystemTray or, if you want to
be invisible, in Stealth Mode. You can choose to launch it when Windows is loaded in
one of the modes above.
