evil thing to ask but I need keystroke logger

I would be somewhat inclined to avoid software based key loggers as I've heard of problems with them. (Admittedly this was back in DOS / Windows 3.x / 95 days.) As such, I'd be more inclined to use a hardware based keylogger. I have no idea how you parent and I'm just some random guy on the Internet. But if I were in your shoes, I'd tell my kids that they have abused things and that I was now monitoring them. Be honest and up front. Don't hide what you are doing. Give them an opportunity to re-gain trust. I would also use the lack of any information from the key logger to be a indicator that they have compromised it. I might also consider something like VNC where I can watch what's on their screen. If at any point in time you can't see what's on their screen, then you have a different problem. I would also be tempted to give them a tiny bit of leeway. We all get board, finish a task and occasionally need 90 seconds to reset. More than that and I'd think it's a good time to cough really loud, walk past them, what have you. But you are the parent. You know your kids best and what will and will not work for them. Good luck. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
