Basic Setup and Usage
If you are an advanced user, then these three paragraphs might be enough documentation for you. For more information click a link in the five basic steps box below. Each section further describes a different aspect of the SniperSpy setup and usage process.

After ordering SniperSpy you will instantly receive an email containing your registration code and a link to download the module creator. You will first need to create your username and password by registering. After you register you can download and install the trial module creator program to setup your module.

After the trial module is created you will deploy the software locally. After the software is deployed wait about ten minutes and then login to your control panel to view results. Click a link in the outline below to learn more about that phase of the process.

FIVE BASIC STEPS TO SETUP AND USAGE OF SNIPERSPY TRIAL

1. Register Account to make your trial username and password. 2. Download and run the trial version of SniperSpy Module Creator. 3. Create Module using the username/password you made in step one. 4. Deploy Module by running the module from the folder where you saved it. 5. View Activity by waiting 60 minutes and then login to your account.

Now that you know a little more about how the process works, let's begin by registering your account as described below.

Registering Your Account

To begin you should create (register) your trial version username and password.

By registering your account you will create your username and password. You can't create your module until you have your username and password. So go to the Create Account page which is shown below. After you have reached the Create Account page, input data into the following fields.

Username/Password Enter a username / password you wish to use. Up to 60 characters each. Registration Number Leave the default registration number for Trial Version Name/Email Address Enter your name / email address to ensure successful operation. After you have completed all fields, click SUBMIT to create your account. You can install and use the module creator to create your module.

This non-stealth program will walk you through creating your module. After the module is created you can uninstall the Module Creator software and then execute the saved module.

Creating Your Module

Now that you have installed the module creator program, you should create your trial module. Once you are inside the module creator your screen will look something like the screen shown in the outline below.

The module creator consists of five screens which you can navigate by clicking BACK or NEXT on the program itself. Follow the five screens (steps) as outlined below. The program also includes instructions on each step.

Step One: Validate Account Enter the username and password you created during registration. Step Two: Logging Settings Choose the activities you wish to monitor. In order for keystrokes and web sites to record, you must record windows opened. Step Three: Alert Options Choose whether or not to alert the user and Anti-spyware blocker. Step Four: Create Module Click browse and choose a name and location to save your module. Step Five: Setup Complete The module is ready to be deployed. Don't execute it!

Deploying Your Module

Now that you have created your trial module you will need to install (deploy) it onto your local computer. This process is outlined below.

Local Deployment (Required for Trial Version) This process is very simple. Go to Start > Computer and navigate to the folder in which you saved your module. Right-click the module file and select "OPEN" as shown at left. Nothing will appear on the screen as the software is installed. The user notification will come up instantly and also after 30 minutes. Then the software will stop working until PC reboot.

Notice to Anti-Virus Users
Due to the hidden nature of SniperSpy, some anti-virus will detect various elements upon installation. However you can tell your anti-virus to Trust, Exclude or Allow the program's functioning. There are no viruses or trojans in our software whatsoever. Click for more information regarding using Norton or Mcafee with SniperSpy.

Viewing Activity

After deployment you should wait about fifteen minutes before logging into your account. After that you can log into your account anytime to check for results. If no results are showing then try logging out of your account and logging back in. This fetches all new records. You can also click the Fetch Records command anytime to fetch new records from the server.

Logging Into Your Account
When you are ready to login to your account to check, enter your username and password into the fields below and click LOGIN. You can also login at the main login page. Be sure to enter your username and password EXACTLY as you did upon account creation. Your username and password are case-sensitive.

Please Note: If you experience a slight delay when logging in, then let the page keep loading. Logs are fetched from the server at each login. If your login isn't instant then its because the server is fetching records. If you have an unusually large amount of records you might need to refresh the page to gain access.

Inside Your Account
Once you are inside your account, your screen should look something like the one below. Inside your account there are three groups of commands on the left side. Each group contains a specific set of commands. These groups are outlined below.

Log Viewer This is where you view all activities with the exception of chats. Recorded Chats This is where you select which chat program log you want to view. Tools/Utilities Various log utilities, password change, system info and uninstall. The menu at the top of the online control panel also contains links to some of the most commonly used commands.

Log Viewers
Each type of recording is saved into a separate log section for your convenience. All log viewer pages work the same. You can sort results by any column by pressing the sort arrow icon. You can clear all logs within each category by clicking the Clear Logs button. You can also select to show only a specific user's results if there are multiple users on your PC.

You can do a global search of logs in your account for any keyword you wish. Simply click the Search Logs link in the Tools section of the menu. Then enter your query. Results will be displayed for any matches found in ANY log type!

Using the LIVE Control Panel
To use the LIVE Control Panel feature of SniperSpy, click the link at the left menu inside your account. You will then be brought to the connection screen. If your remote PC is online, you will be connected within one minute. Once connected the LIVE Control Panel interface will appear on your screen. There you can click any command in the left menu to be performed on the remote PC. Each time you issue a command it will be sent to your remote PC immediately. Then within 30 seconds your screen will refresh with a status update of the last command sent.

Deleting Logs
The log files within each logging category can be deleted by clicking the Clear Logs button on a log page. Additionally you can choose to clear ALL logs by clicking the appropriate link in the Tools / Utilities section of the left menu. Only erase logs if you are sure you want them erased. They cannot be recovered. You can select multiple files for deletion at once.

System Information
SniperSpy saves the latest system information from your monitored computer. To access this powerful feature click the Sys-Info button at the top of your online control panel. You will be shown the most recent system statistics and info about the remote PC.

Change Password
Changing your password is very easy and can be done at any time. It will not interfere with the operation of SniperSpy on the monitored PC. To change your password, go to your online control panel and click the Change Password link in the Tools section at left. Insert the appropriate fields and click submit. Your password will then be changed.

Configure SniperSpy
Starting with v5.0 you can now adjust module settings from within the online control panel. Click the Configure SniperSpy link in the left menu. Then adjust your settings accordingly and click Save. The settings will be changed on your remote module at the next connection which is usually within six minutes if the PC is online.

Saving Logs Offline
Saving logs for offline use is as easy as going to File > Save As and naming the file. You will then be able to access that page at any time in the future by looking at the file using My Computer. The file can also be printed for a hard copy of evidence.

Removing SniperSpy Trial Module Creator
The module creator itself is not vital for recording on a PC. It is simply to create your module. Therefore after you execute your module you can uninstall the module creator. To do so go to Start > All Programs > SniperSpy Trial > Remove SniperSpy and follow the screens.

Removing SniperSpy Installed Module
When you want to remove SniperSpy you can do it from your online control panel. Login and click the Uninstall SniperSpy link in the Tools section. Then click YES to confirm. Your account will then be deactivated for new logs. The software will then remove itself the next time it makes a connection.
