As a netork admin totally devoid of hacking experience, I thought I would ask a question bordering on ethical action.
I have a daughter who is not on the "right" track. There have been some seriously "unethical" things on her new computer. I find those things mostly password protected. Seriously concerned, I thought of placing a keylogger on her computer to find out how out of control this is. Of course telling or asking has netted more fight than warrented.
Ethical? Or not.
For those of you who would agree with my approach, what is a good keylogger? For those of you who don't agree, what is another aproach to provide me with oversight of bad activity.
I know, this is a problem for many. I am struggling with it and would like some feedback. Good or bad.   

Placing a keylogger is a mistake in this situation in my opinion. I have seen this before and the results are never good. What if you get the passwords and find something you dont like on the computer? What is the next step? You confront your daughter and tell her you broke into her computer and spied on her? Yeah, thats going to go over just great. You would have been better off just demanding access from the beginning. If she refusses then you take away the computer, but never break into it. Sure she will "hate" you, but she will at least see you as up front and honest and not sneaky. Oh the sweet life of a parent, lol.
