MateWatcher

From the developer: This product records and saves the actual TEXT of both-sides of MSN, AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, and AOL instant messages. Advance features also log passwords, e-mails, keystrokes, programs used, and Web site activity. Can secretly e-mail the data to your e-mail address (if you don't always have physical access to the PC your monitoring). Time and Date stamps all activity. Built-in printing feature. True Stealth! Runs totally hidden to the average PC user. Instant Keyword/Phrase Alerts send you an e-mail (including the chat conversation) whenever a user or the person their chatting to types a word or phrase (like 'I love you' or 'meet me tonight') you set up as an alert.
