How To Monitor Your Home Computer – Win one of 20 Gecko Monitor Licenses

October 19, 2012 By Debra Pearlstein 9 Comments

How To Monitor Your Home Computer
There are a number of reasons that you may want to monitor your home computer. Especially if it’s the family computer that everyone uses. A teenager that’s meant to be doing homework or is using the computer when everyone’s gone to bed. A partner who you are having doubts about. Or even just young kids who you want to let loose on the internet but are worried about what they’ll see. All of these reasons call for the use of Computer Monitoring Software.

Computer Monitoring Software has been around for a long time and started out in the form of a simple keylogger. These programs would simply record every keystroke pressed on a computer and submit them to a log ready for someone to read back at a later date. These days, with all the multimedia and advancements of things like the internet, Computer Monitoring Software has to be a bit more complex.

 But as complex as the workings behind the software are, the programs themselves are brilliantly easy to use. Download and installing the software usually takes a few minutes at the most and once it’s installed it’ll run completely silently in the background, without anyone knowing it’s running. Most Computer Monitoring Software won’t be seen anywhere in the start menu, tray, task manager or the add/remove programs and will be extremely well hidden in the hard drive, meaning even the most tech savvy of people won’t be able to find it.

When you run the program for the first time you’ll define a secret key combination and password that only you will know, so that only you can access the software in the future. You’ll use these details when you want to view the logs. The features of Computer Monitoring Software these days are brilliantly comprehensive and most programs out there will perform the following:

  • Will monitor and log all keystrokes pressed.
  • Will monitor and log all applications use.
  • Will monitor and log all websites visited.
  • Will monitor and log all files opened, saved, deleted etc.
  • Will monitor and log all printed documents.
  • Will take screenshots periodically of what’s on the screen.
  • Will email you the reports remotely.
  • Will monitor anything copied and pasted.

All of these features will include time and date stamps so that you can see exactly when a certain activity was undertaken. The emailed reports function usually comes in handy if you can’t get to the computer or you want to receive the reports at work. Simply enter your email address details and receive everything to your inbox!

    I’d probably use it on my work laptop. When away from my desk I have noticed other people have been on it.
