I’ve seen so many ads for “spy” software that it makes my head spin! The sad thing is that for the most part it’s very buggy, has poorly written code and is easily detectable. The publishers will promise you the world and make vast claims about a simple installation that reveals his every move on the computer.
The big problem here is that if he is halfway computer literate he will know that this software is running on his PC and your “cover” will be blown. Try it, hit the ctrl+alt+delete keys and hold them down simultaneously. A window will pop up, this is the Windows task manager program. Next click the tab entitled “processes”. Listed there will be every process (program) currently running on the computer, visible or not.
If he finds this “process” running on his computer and finds out what it is, your “cover” will immediately be blown and you will most likely have complications to deal with. Don’t use the “magical” spy software. Only use hardware based items to log keystrokes.
