This is an interesting sociological question. Honest answers from parents (do you spy on your kids or not?) would be interesting. There’s definitely going to? be some disagreement about whether or not this is okay.
As you said Ranjit, there are many of internet monitoring software around the internet. And none my major companies. But there are a few companies which? are good such as Spectorsoft, and you must have hear of K9 Web protection. Symantec has a ip monitoring software but that is for corporate use.
Few? sites-
Ip Guard
Spectorsoft
K9
i’m 15 so obviously i’m not a parent but in my opinion self-installed keyloggers go both ways. if i was a parent i would kind of like to know due to the danger of internet predators, pedophiles etc. but if its something like porn or whatever i think that should be kept private to your kid and not spied upon, but of course if they’re 11 then that’s a bad thing but if my kid was a? teenager i’d just look the other way. basically i would only use it to make sure they’re not talking to strangers etc.
Children are people,not pets.They have a right to their own privacy and trust.One should also take into context what you would achieve if your child found out. In one way I think its similar to if your boss at work was doing the same to you. Ask? yourself how you would feel about that.
Spend time with your kids online and teach them what to look out for and they will listen. Kids dont want to share !everything! with their parents and breaking that level of privacy might damage your relationship.
its depends on? age.below 15 you should , privacy is not an option for those kids. but after some age they should be allowed privacy.
My? parents don’t have any keylogging software on my computer, and they never have had any keyloggers on my computer, I’m 15.
why do you even need a keylogger.?
why you want to keep monitoring your kids activities.?
let me guess is? it porn.?
com on won’t you be embarrassed after knowing that your kids are watching porn, and not only you even your kids will be embarrassed if they found out that their parents know about there activity.
just give them a break let them do what they want to you should trust your kids at least.
@ChernobylPizza: Yes it’s a very tricky question hence I decide to make a video about the same…… Personally I would not use it… and the computer my kid uses is in a central place where me or my wife can have a glance but again for kids around 9-12 who might be? online and can browse any site or might talk / chat with strangers…. it’s a tricky situation.
Paranoidddddddddddddd?
I use? an excellent piece of software – it’s called trust and good parenting
@msi48701gb: You got it wrong It’s not for porn…. but If you as a parent believe your child is over 13-14 and you can shield them from adult content you are kidding yourself, I think so the problem is? with younger children 9-13 year olds…. I know many small children access internet even social networking site like facebook there they can chat with strangers or ppl you would not like your children to communicate with as they are still too small to know whats good or not.
I am no parent, but I am studying ethical hacking & I write my own key loggers and use windows task scheduler to run those key loggers on startup, or bat files and put them into a flash storage device to run on plug in.
However, I myself do not like the idea of others using key logger on anyone, even if the user? is a parent. Trust is very important in a family.
but if you really need, here is a good start:?

@geekyranjit Very well said? Ranjit.
just? use windows parental control
For really young children who don’t use the internet heavily, you could configure a firewall policy to block all site except for ones that you decide to whitelist. That way the child must ask you if they want to access a site. You can whitelist wikipedia and other trusted sites. Also, check out? OpenDNS Ranjit, I think it allows parental control, time quotas, and even possibly monitoring of traffic where it notifies you if bad sites have been accessed.
@jin37uk Pretty optimistic? answer buddy
