Part 1: Start Any Keylogger

How AnyKeylogger works?
Any Keylogger operates in hidden mode and does not appear on the computer system while being monitored. It is invisible in Add/Remove program list, Software installation files, Startup menu, and even from the Desktop icon. That’s to say, users being monitored won’t be aware of being monitored when Any Keylogger runs in the background. If you switch on the monitoring status, Any Keylogger will monitor computers even though you close it or hide it in the background, the only way you can stop it is to switch off the button of status in the main interface.

Activate and Run Any Keylogger
After you install Any Keylogger, the main interface will immediately pop up. If the main window doesn’t appear, you can press the hotkey of “Ctrl+Shift+Alt+A” to activate it, in the main window, you should firstly switch on the button of status.

View Logs
Click the “View Log” button in the main interface, then the log window appears. In this window, you can choose any user’s computer and every item to view the logs, here, Any Keylogger also offers you the function of exporting logs.
