Probably the most common question I am asked is, "What software should I use to protect my family from getting into trouble?". My answer is very simple. According to my own experience and backed up by statistics and research, filters just simply do not work. They can easily be bypassed by kids or others who are much more computer savvy than most parents. My opinion is that a keylogger or monitoring software should be used since it acts as a tape recorder that captures EVERY action performed on the computer. Think of it as a wiretap.

By using software like this to monitor your family, you will have a crystal clear picture of exactly what they are doing, who they are talking to and to what extent. They cannot deny what is printed out in the report. The downside to this software is that it is an after the fact solution. There really is no way to know before the fact, what someone is doing online, but this type of software certainly allows one to know exactly what is happening without any doubt whatsoever.

If you look in my website, you will see that I suggest a product called SpectorPro. In my opinion, it is the best product out there right now for protecting what your family is doing. ALso, I have arranged with the company that produces it to give my readers a $20 discount if they buy it through this site. All you have to do is click on the link and it will automatically take you to their site so that you can purchase it.

There is another product that will be available soon, that will allow you to have an idea of how public your child has made themselves on the Internet, and I will be writing about that in the near future. It isn't available for another week or so, but when it is, I will be discussing it in detail.

Until then, stay safe on the World WILD Web...
