Hi I want to be able to track what my kids are doing on the family pc. I dont want them to know that I am doing it really and I cant find a good program that doesnt require me to log in or show some icon when windows starts up. Can anyone suggest a program please, preferably free. I am worried about chats, ceratin sites and emails etc. Thanks

u can track where they got as far as internet files with the Tools Internet Options on ur IE browser or in your control panel, there u can click on view termperary internet files and see where they have gone depneding on the time and date the site was visited. some sites may not be opened but it gives u the address Kitty

Thanks. It wasnt quite what I meant though. Is there something that can read messengers etc.Thanks

Yes there is. IOPUS STARR forgot the website though. A google search for Iopus Starr should turn it up. The freeware version has a pop-up telling you that everything is being recorded. I registered it for something like $25 and then it can be run silently in the background. My teenage daughter could never figure out how I knew EXACTLY what she did on the computer(mine). It records chats,IM's,passwords,keystrokes,websites etc..etc..best $25 I ever spent. After me calling her on a few things she was so paranoid of using my computer that I could finally breath a sigh of relief. I am sure there are other programs that do the same but that program worked great for me.

Thanks Ipous Starr home edition is now defunct. There is a pro that is very expensive. The other link looks good but it is even more expensive. Any more ideas?? Thanks
