I'm planning to get some software for my home PC to allow me to better watch what my kids are getting into online. I just learned yesterday of a home PC version of what my office uses, and downloaded a trial version to test out. At first look, it looks pretty good.
It logs all of the PC activity and then offers different reports / fiunctions that let you look back at the activity. So far I've just played with the summary of websites visited, amount of time on them, as i expect that to be my primary use.
My next delemma is whether I will let my kids know I have this program, and I see pros and cons for either choice. I'm curious what others think of that question, especially those who use this type of software (Family Cyber Alert is what I use; I'm sure there are others)
Any thoughts, suggestions from experience? Thx.
