Activity Monitor 4.4

Activity Monitor is a program to help parents and business owners track the computer activity of their kids and employees. Activity Monitor tracks all activity in real-time and provides a detailed report of virtually everything that is taking place on the computer. The software records all typed keystrokes, as well as all internet activity. Activity Monitor is currently compatible with Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

This software is ideal for business owners who want to ensure that their employees are not breaking company policies. Activity Monitor records all computer activity, including all emails and instant messages that are sent and received. This makes it ideal for tracking possible illegal activities, or just keeping an eye on your employees. Most of the time this software is just used for minor things – making sure that inappropriate websites are not accessed, reducing wasted time, etc, but Activity Monitor provides enough information and functionality that it could be used for virtually anything.

Activity Monitor also monitors every website visited. This is ideal if you don’t want people accessing inappropriate sites while at work. The program records every website that was visited, as well as how much time was spent there. It also records keystrokes in each program, so you can also see what they searched for. There is also the added functionality of automatic screenshot capturing, so if you want to see exactly what your employees are seeing, that is a possibility.

The Activity Monitor also documents every program that was used, the time spent on each, and keystrokes entered in each. This is perfect for monitoring general activity and your employees’ time management skills. The software can also be set to disable certain programs from being opened, so any potentially inappropriate programs could be blocked entirely.

Activity Monitor 4.4 works pretty simply. The software must be installed on each computer it will be used on, as well as the primary computer, which will be used to monitor and document all activity. The main computer tracks all the data of the other computers, and it is password protected to prevent tampering.

There is a free 15 day trial available for this software at download.com. After the 15 day trial, the full software costs $179.95 – a seemingly expensive rate, but well worth it. The functionality and ease of use of Activity Monitor make it a must for any business owner, or any mother wanting to monitor her child’s activity.
