I'm looking for recomendations/reviews of software that secretly logs instant messages (from various messangers like yahoo, aim, msn ) and chatrooms. I have chatwatch but it skips aim because my daughter got an add on called Triton.

Just so ya know, I'm not just being noisy. Our family has saftey issues that make this kind of thing necessary. Thanks for any advice.

We have monitoring software but I don't remember what it is and I'm not home right now.

Family keylogger is what we have but i'm thinking of getting one that notifies me of all emails sent. What my keylogger does is record everything that goes on from my end of the computer. Every keystroke typed into the computer, etc. But its like getting one end of the conversation, and sometimes that can sound alot worse than having the other end as well. kwim?

We use IAmBigBrother. I just signed up for the remote service so I can monitor from any other computer instead of having to log onto the same computer that dd uses, which was a pain in the butt.

We have Eblaster 5.0. It sends you an email report of all activity. You can chose how frequent the reports are sent and what you want to monitor.

I never knew this software existed. I wish I had known earlier. I just cut off the access to all chat rooms so I guess that works if you don't want your teen to visit ANY site like that.

SpectorPro was recommended by my local police department.
It logs all the keystrokes, takes screen shots at intervals you setup, and logs every website. It is really an awesome tool.
