Web Watcher Review
Web Watcher Review:
Summary:
Web Watcher is the only software
available that offers internet
filtering, program blocking, and
time limit controls along with the
advanced and extensive monitoring
capabilities necessary to keep
complete tabs on your child's
computer and internet activity.
A slight downside is that it is not
available for AppleMac, so if you're
a MAC user then this program is not
the one for you. Check out Safe Eyes
if you are a Mac user.
They provide the most responsive
customer support of all products
that we reviewed with 24/7 contact
available online. Although you may
find Web Watcher is priced higher
than its competitors, they don't
require annual subscription fees
like most other parental control
software - once you purchase, the
software and monitoring service is
yours forever.
Even better, they offer a
complete installation service and
will install the software on your
computer by remote access as you sit
and watch! Many software
programs have a habit of interfering
with Anti-Virus software such as
Norton and McAfee, Web Watcher
technicians take care of this for
you.
Website Filtering/Blocking
Web Watcher provides three levels of
web filtering:
- Category based:
They have a huge list of
about 30 categories to
pick from including
Adult, Drugs,
Entertainment, Gambling,
Weapons, Shopping, etc..
They claim to have the
largest and most
comprehensive database
available for keyword
and URL category based
filtering.
- Custom words:
This is useful to keep
current such as if a new
objectionable movie was
released or you would
like to block other
specific material.
- Allowed list:
The allowed list (or
whitelist) allows you to
allow specific sites
through which may
otherwise be blocked, or
allow only what's on the
allowed list and block
everything else.
|
Other Filtering/Blocking
Web Watcher has the ability to
prevent various programs from
running - you can choose the
programs based on category such as
web browsers, email, IM, file
sharing, etc. or select specific
programs to block. You can also set
times and days in which specific
programs can be run.
Monitoring:
The monitoring capabilities truly
put Web Watcher in a league of it's
own. Web Watcher can monitor the
following computer and internet
activity:
- Web browsing
activity: record
every website visited,
the time of day a site
was visited, the total
number of visits to a
site, and the types of
searches completed.
- Email programs
and Web-based email:
Outlook, Outlook
Express, Myspace,
Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL
Webmail, etc. Web
Watcher shows whether
email was sent or
received, who sent it,
who received it, the
date and time an email
was sent or received,
the subject, the
contents, and any
attachments
- Chat / Instant
Messaging programs:
AOL Instant Messenger
(AIM), MSN Messenger, or
Yahoo Messenger. Web
Watcher records the
date, start time, end
time, participants, and
entire contents of chats
and instant message
conversations.
- Screenshots:
Web Watcher can take
screenshots based on
alert words (when
specific words are
viewed or typed). You
can also take
screenshots of specific
programs at specified
intervals. All
screenshots are saved
chronologically so you
can view them whenever
you wish.
- Keystrokes:
The WebWatcher key
logger records every
keystroke, what
application was used,
what was typed, and who
typed it. You can access
all usernames and
passwords, all letters
typed, and every
spreadsheet formula. Key
strokes are saved and
organized by date, time,
and by what program /
application was used.
WebWatcher's key logger
also has a unique
ability to auto-format
what was typed into a
human-readable format,
removing the extra
"backspaces" and
"deletes".
|
Web Watcher has a unique feature
within it's monitoring capabilities
called 'Alert Words', (words that
you have specified as being
important) to automatically bring
important monitored activity - which
contain these words - to your
attention. This is useful when you
don't want to sort through every
email, chat session, and keystroke
recorded.
Also, Web Watcher is the only
software available that allows you
to access the monitored activity
anywhere from a web browser,
remotely and in real time.
This is particularly useful if you
want to monitor activity from a home
computer while you are at work, a
computer that you do not have
constant access to.
