Computer monitoring
The digitalization of everyday life gives more and more possibilities of remote communication, gaining knowledge, developing a hobby or having a social life. Apart from the obvious merits, there are also serious problems and threats, which every user should consider – especially youngsters and children who are not aware of the dark side of the Internet. Monitoring of computer activities allows to be sure that the child will not become a victim of a pedophile, will not visit porn pages or the ones containing violence or things we simply do not want our child to view.
If we run a company, it is wise to pay attention in what way the computer equipment is used by the employees. Are there any abuses during the work? Are we a victim of of dishonest practices? To be informed about current situation, it is wise to use some of the solutions proposed by us.
Hardware keylogger is an option which offers recording every key hit on the keyboard. In a simple way we obtain information about what was typed on communicators, chats, addresses of visited websites. We also obtain a recording from text files and access to every password. Small sized recording devices may be installed as a link between the computer and keyboard or be masked by building it into the keyboard.
More advanced and discreet solutions are SpyLoggers, that is software keyloggers. They have the same basic functions as external devices, but they can generate screen shots. This gives us a possibility of insight into every content which is viewed on the computer – opened images, web pages visited from history of the browser, viewed videos. Additionally, some of the equipment offer an option of sound recording from the surrounding. Information and images recording may be archived on the device, from which the installation of the program is performed. But the more comfortable solution is an option of sending all the files to the provided e-mail address. Monitoring software is discreet and reliable. Knowing that it is not possible to detect it by anti-virus software, we may feel completely safe.
