1. What are the differences between IK97 and IKS?

The core of IK97 is a Windows program. The core of IKS is a driver which supports Windows operating system. Therefore, IKS records at the lower level than IK97. While IK97 is sufficient for most purposes, IKS is intended for people who want absolute stealth and flexibility.
In some circumstances, IK97 may fail to capture some keystrokes, such as keystrokes in a Dos box, AOL password, and keystrokes typed into a Java chat room under Netscape Navigator. IKS will get them all.

2. I am using a foreign-language keyboard, will IKS program work?

IKS was designed for US keyboard layout. It may work for other keyboards, but please test out the demo version to make sure that IKS meets your requirements with a foreign keyboard.

3. How do I get rid of the eyes icon from the desktop after I installed it with the automatic installer?

The eyes icon is placed on the desktop for your convenience by the automatic installer. You can simply left click once on the icon and press the "Delete" key on your keyboard to delete it.

4. How do I delete the old keystroke log?

Check the "Delete Binary Log Upon Exit" in your Datview viewer, then exit.

5. My computer locks up after I installed IKS, help!

Please don't install IKS twice without uninstalling the first installation. (Don't run the IKS installer again and again!) If you have installed IKS twice or more by mistake, type in "sysedit" in Run... of Start button (without quotes), go to "system.ini" file, scroll down to [386Enh] section, make sure you only have one "device=vikxd.vxd" entry and one "VikxdLog=xxx" entry, delete the extra such entries, save the changes and reboot.

6. IKS seems to generate incorrect date stamp after 1/1/2000, do you have a patch for this?

If you have an old demo version of IKS, you can download the updated datview.exe here. Save the file datview.exe over the existing one. If you have the registered version, please login to amecisco.com/protected2 with your user ID to download the registered file.

7. How do I remotely retrieve the log?

Thru A Network Connection:
If you have file access to the target computer thru a network connection, you can simply copy the binary log file over and decode it on your own machine.
Thru Email: 
You can retrieve the log via our free StealthMail utility. StealthMail will periodically send you an email with any file attachment (in this case, set up StealthMail to send the iks.dat). StealthMail can also be set to remain invisible on the target machine. And you can set up StealthMail to reset the binary log file periodically after successfully sending the file.
