I know I've read here before about software you can install that runs in the background and picks up keystrokes. I think it is about $80.00. Anyone know what it is called, where to purchase it and how it works? Thanks....

NSR - thanks. I am interested in it to monitor my children's activities. Would WinGuardian be the right one for that? How does it work? Does it track emails that are sent? What about chat room activity?<p>[This message has been edited by siftedlikewheat (edited August 02, 2000).]

No, it doesn't "track e-mails"...<BR>...just what your child types into the e-mail text boxes.<P>No, it doesn't "track" what is sent to your computer... again just what is type by the person sitting at the computer's keyboard. One thing that could help... is that it(WinGuardian) does have a feature that takes a periodic "snapshot" of the screen... so you can get some (not all) of the "chat" dialogues.<P>Hope that helped...<P> <P>Jim

Thanks again, NSR. I just downloaded a 15 day trial using the link you gave. It looks like I have to activate it each time, so I'll have to do that before the kids get on. When we close down we have to re-activate it again. I'll see if it works for us.<P>Hope all is well with you. Read your post earlier - what a big surprise. Should be interesting to see how it all develops. I appreciate all your helps and contributions here.

If you want to control some of wha your children access on the internet, you could try a program like CyberPatrol or NetNanny. they let you set criteria that will not allow certain things to show on the screen. It can also prevent them from typing in certain words (like personal info that shouldn't be given out over the internet to strangers - phone number, address, etc)<P>I can't remember how much they cost. My son is a bit old to be monitoring his activity so vigilantly now (he's 18!).<P>I can't remember how old are your kids? If they are very computer savy, they might be able to find a way to get around CyberPatrol (my son did). I don't know if NetNanny is any more secure.

I am totally freaked over the porn that my H has suddenly become addicted to. I wish there was some way to monitor HIS activity. I get tired of finding it. I think it's nasty and disrespectful to women. Alas, he is an adult, so I cannot make him NOT look at it.

<BR>Just a word of warning to those who are interested in snooping into their spouse's activities on the internet. My stbx H installed some kind of software on our computer that took pictures of everything you did on the PC. It also read keystrokes, so he was able to figure out passwords. I am no computer whiz, but I was able to find it and was furious when I find out. He didn't score any brownie points with me on this tactic. Mind you, this was done after I filed for divorce. I checked with my attorney and it is illegal. Reading someone elses email without their permission is illegal; email or regular mail. Doing so could result in charges filed against you and could definitely hurt in deciding custody. I would think twice and then forget about it. <BR>
