I need a safe keylogger because I want to know what happens when I don't use my computer because sometimes things I had in a folder are in another. I am using Mac Leopard.

If you pay for it and configure it yourself, it should be safe. I don't know if there is one on Apple's app store, but if there is, I'd trust any app from there.

Maybe a simpler approach would be to set a username and password to limit access to the computer when you're not using it? Or if it has one, change the password to something long, complex and impossible to guess?

That would make much more sense than leaving it wide open and monitoring keystrokes.

Thank you! You've just given me a good idea. But...how to say...I've met some problems...so I need a keylogger. That's the question.

Do you have automatic updates on? Have you been installing any software lately? Any of these could cause files to appear to have been moved.

If you don't have enough access privileges to change the password, you almost certainly won't have enough access privileges to install a keylogger, either.

If this is a workplace computer and the person(s) who maintain(s) the computers are at all concerned about security of the company's data, they should be alarmed at the fact that there is evidence of tampering with your machine.
