How To Monitor Your Home Computer
There are a number of reasons that you
may want to monitor your home computer. Especially if it's the family
computer that everyone uses. A teenager that's meant to be doing
homework or is using the computer when everyone's gone to bed. A partner who you are having doubts about. Or even just young kids
who you want to let loose on the internet but are worried about what
they'll see. All of these reasons call for the use of Computer
Monitoring Software.
Computer Monitoring Software has been
around for a long time and started out in the form of a simple
keylogger. These programs would simply record every keystroke pressed
on a computer and submit them to a log ready for someone to read back
at a later date. These days, with all the multimedia and advancements
of things like the internet, Computer Monitoring Software has to be a
bit more complex.
But as complex as the workings behind the software are, the programs themselves are brilliantly easy to use. Download and installing the software usually takes a few minutes at the most and once it's installed it'll run completely silently in the background, without anyone knowing it's running. Most Computer Monitoring Software won't be seen anywhere in the start menu, tray, task manager or the add/remove programs and will be extremely well hidden in the hard drive, meaning even the most tech savvy of people won't be able to find it.

When you run the program for the first
time you'll define a secret key combination and password that only
you will know, so that only you can access the software in the
future. You'll use these details when you want to view the logs. The
features of Computer Monitoring Software these days are brilliantly
comprehensive and most programs out there will perform the following:
- Will monitor and log all keystrokes pressed.
- Will monitor and log all applications use.
- Will monitor and log all websites visited.
- Will monitor and log all files opened, saved, deleted etc.
- Will monitor and log all printed documents.
- Will take screenshots periodically of what's on the screen.
- Will email you the reports remotely.
- Will monitor anything copied and pasted.
All of these features will include time
and date stamps so that you can see exactly when a certain activity
was undertaken. The emailed reports function usually comes in handy
if you can't get to the computer or you want to receive the reports
at work. Simply enter your email address details and receive
everything to your inbox!
