Very good software, a bit easier then file monitor by sysinternals. Easy to understand

I think that the instructions are outdated:
Moo0 File Monitor version 1.11 automatically saves "SaveData.xml" inside "savedata" folder on first run.

BehaviorPasswordRevealer is a Security Assessment Tool intended to discover passwords by sniffing network traffic.
-------------------------------------
I can see where it could be used as a malicious program, but I'm betting this is a false positive. You'll have to make your antivirus program ignore it to use it, I suppose. Just wanted everybody who downloads this know about it...

Tintenkiller on 2010-09-08 09:15

Sadly, that's pretty common nowadays.

A lot of Nirsofts great tools are labeled als hacking software by numerous AntiVirus Apps (e.g. Trend Micro). Thus trying to block them. It's always a pain in the ass.

But not much you can do about it.

It's not really a false positive either - since those tools ARE sort of hacking tools. But the tools themselves do nothing harmful per se.

KeyCounter (no2) v2.00

webfork on 30 Oct 2016
  • 78KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 22 Oct 2012
  • Suggested by Wolfghost

KeyCounter is a user activity monitor that keeps track of keystrokes and mouse movement. By counting the number of keystrokes you make every minute, it builds a history of your effort on a given machine. For example, if you start a new document in Word and type "Hello", that's six keypresses. Once for each of the letters, and one for pressing "shift" to make the "H" a capital.

You can then gauge user activity by seeing when activity begins and ends, and show when you were most busy. Times of inactivity are shown on a graph, such as when you were making coffee or gone for lunch.

The program will watch activity in any application, not merely characters typed, useful for activity that involves lots of false stops and starts; Keycounter lets you see how much work you've done, not just what you finished.

Note: note that the user has deleted mention of this program from his website; linking to archive.org.

I could not download the "exe" file. I got the Windows message that Glint stopped working. I'm using Windows Vista 64. Any suggestions? Thanks. Bob

Would be nice prog if it didnt crash everytime i change settings.

Technomancer on 2010-05-27 10:47

I'm on Windows7 Home Premium.
I love 'glint' i can keep an eye on what program or routine is (a)using my CPU time, (b)what's possibly reading/writing to my hard drive and (c)lots of other things that i don't really understand but are probably very useful to someone.

Top Marks for this one.
