Computer monitoring software also known as spyware or key logger software is a program that tracks most activity on a computer. The program may require physical access to the computer although some programs allow computers to be monitored from the internet. A good monitoring software program will track all keystrokes made on the computer, be able to provide complete Internet monitoring usage including monitoring of chat rooms, record both sides of instant messaging programs, monitor web site access, monitor incoming and outgoing emails, and track downloads. It is important for parents that are monitoring their children's Internet activities to have a program that will report both sides of a conversation on programs like AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) and that will functional in the most popular social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook.
Monitoring Software companies tend to target specific market segments, with some appealing to parents wanting to protect there children, employers wanting to protect their businesses, and spouses wanting keep track of their significant others. Although software specifically designed for businesses is overkill for parents looking to protect their children, the other two are equally suitable for parents and spouses. When one strips away the companies marketing it comes down to which program has the features that you need. Below is a list of monitoring software with key features and ratings from various sources. However, as valuable as these ratings are there is still no better information than that comes from experience.
