Setup Norton Antivirus exclusions for SoftActivity Keylogger

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Norton Antivirus may report presence of SoftActivity Keylogger software on your computer and remove it. It’s doing it in case someone installed SoftActivity Keylogger on your computer without your knowledge to monitor. In fact, there is no virus in SoftActivity Keylogger software. It only does what is declared in features list on its website, i.e. records your kids computer  activity with parent’s permission. All recorded information is stored locally on the computer unless you set it to email reports. In this case it emails encrypted reports directly to the email address you specified using  the specified SMTP server.
