What is the difference between filtering and monitoring software?
Computer monitoring software, “Spy software”, “Spyware or “Surveillance software” keeps logs of all computer activities, allowing you to see who is doing what on your computer, and for how long. Common features include key logging (recording all keys pressed), web search logging, recording of incoming and outgoing emails, IMs, and chats, and screen shots. Some monitoring software includes Remote Monitoring, this allows you to monitor your child from any computer outside your home. Web filtering software does much more than just filter websites by keyword or URL. Often called computer-control software, common features include time allowances and controls, program blocking, and email/chat/IM filtering. Our featured product, WebWatcher, combines the best features of monitoring and filtering software for all-around protection.
