Computer Monitoring Software

Any recommendations on some type of internet monitoring software? I need to put this on the home pc for the little ones and I'm sure some of you have some type of experience with it. I downloaded a trial version of Acespy and it seems to be decent but are there any good ones that are free? If not i dont mind paying for one either...

If its for little ones, don't get a spying software just get a web filter software. Instead of spying on them, it will simply block them from the sites you don't want them at in the first place.

NetNanny
Websense
Barracuda

Google is your friend

Don't forget, kids are smart, and they will eventually get around your filtering software. Sit them down and explain that there are rules for using the computer just like the rest of the rules for the house. Lay out clear boundaries for the use of the computer for your sibling (or have your parents do this),and enforce them just like the rules for the TV and the phone.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Keep the computer (that the kids use) in the kitchen or the family room, not a study or a bedroom.

you know you did that shit when you were a kid...let him have his privacy...unless you suspect that he is visiting hotmale(dot)com.

...not that there's anything wrong with that...

they are 7 and 10, the computer is in a game room, but they seem to be on the computer a little too much lately...spyware always seems to be a problem on that computer too....

To the OP, move the computer into the kitchen. Problems will go away.
