Hi friends. Is there any freeware that automatically captures screenshots per hour and automatically uploads it to e-mail without the need for clicking. I need this to keep a check on the download progress when I'm in college attending my lectures.Thanks

Edit: I came across this *www.16software.com/icyscreen/ but it's not free.

try this :
SnapShot Screen Capture: take screenshots and send with email or upload with FTP.

@OP: Any keylogger can do that without the attention of the user. BTW, Is it for your own computer or for spying others' computer?

:chinscratch: I find that point strong :)

anyways, yeah sure, any keylogger can do that .. Ardamax Keylogger is one , but be sure to prevent your antivirus from detecting any such software else it may automatically remove it ..

In that case just uninstall the antivirus.

Thanks bro for your help. But this software requires the pressing of hotkeys to snap and upload the pic. I just want that it automatically snap the screenshot per hour and automatically upload it to email or ftp server.

make your own program with AHK..
Its relatively simple if you understand basic OOP

AHK is a good option if you want your program to do exactly as you wish..
Sometimes, ready made programs arent available for all kinds of purposes and that is where AHK comes in
Use it as a last resort tho, if you dont know programming

I was about to say this.

@OP: Almost all keyloggers are detectable by all anti-virus. Better write your own keylogger.

Not necessary.

1. Disable Anti-Virus
2. Download Keylogger software & save on computer.
3. Install Keylogger
4. Go to Anti-Virus Settings-->>Program Exclusions-->>Add. Click the Add button to browse to the executable of Keylogger or installation folder as the case may be & add it. Now Antivirus will not scan the keylogger.
5. Enable Anti-Virus

The above steps were for Norton, however, same steps can be followed for other antiviruses.

Oh! I don't use any anti-virus. That's why I am unaware of such features.

Its recommended to use one. And if you're connecting to the Internet then it becomes all the more important. Why don't you use it?

I mostly use Ubuntu. So, I never felt the need for one. All the anti-virus programs i tried made my systems slower than a snail. That's why I don't use any anti-virus in win7 too.

Went over my head. :ashamed:

@ Nerevarine - you should have at-least provide Op with a link to that app instead of using jargon ;-)

recommended but if you can believe on your wits you don't need one ;-)

true, i have survived months without antivirus but it exposes to lots of risk like if anyone inadvertently connects virus-infected pen drive to share data...

I don't find the OP mentioning that he is using Ubuntu. It was only me who had mentioned that I use Ubuntu.
