Well, I'm out... you have to be logged in as administrator to install it. :(
What's the difference between Mousotron and a keylogger? For what it's worth, the program after install, tripped the firewall and requested permission to use the internet. It's bad enough out there without inviting the crapware in.
The difference between this program and a keylogger is this program does not log everything typed, it simply monitors how many times any of the keys on the keyboard has been pressed
I did not mean to imply that the Admin would have members download and use a program full of spyware, crapware, or other malware.the reason it uses the internet is that you can get it to automatically upload your stats to the internet and compare them with other people on their websiteQuoteThe difference between this program and a keylogger is this program does not log everything typed, it simply monitors how many times any of the keys on the keyboard has been pressed
It just seems strange, that a program that is gathering local machine statistics would have a need to use the internet. The program is probably harmless enough but I'll still pass and have one less thing to worry about. :)
The utility is: Mousotron (http://www.blacksunsoftware.com/mousotron.html) and keeps track of the overall distance you've moved your mouse, how many times you've pressed the left/right buttons, double-clicked, and how many keystrokes you've typed on the keyboard.

If you have a try at Pitaschio (the one Kip showed us), you will notice that the letter E is most used in all the letters of the alphabet.Now after playing Halo and CounterStrike, W,S,A and D have dominated all.
