What is available to me so that i can see what and where my daughter is going and doing on the computer? I also need to make it so she doesn't know I am doing this. We are having some issues and I need a little peace of mind.

Right click on th start button and go to explore. Some times you can find all kinds of things in there. Spend a little time looking and you might find some thing. IMHO don't be changing any thing in there. Some times you browser history can be turned off in Firefox. Go to the top of the firefox page and click history. Go to internet options in windows internet explorer and un-check empty temporary internet files folder when browser is closed. This will use some HD space.
P/S X 2. I would grab pen and paper and wright down every thing you change in case you don't like the changes. I would also wait for other replies from B/C for different options.

Hi unsubdog,

I've no personal experience using this type of software, but a quick Google search returns a lot of available choices. Quite a few will allow you to record computer activities in stealth mode and send the logs via e-mail, which might be what you're looking for.

ICU (Free) seems to be popular along with AllInOne Keylogger (Paid, but has a 7 day trial).

The only advice I can give is to maybe spend a little time researching and see what suit your needs.

How about opening a line of communication with your daughter, unsubdog? Just a thought...

I like Pandy's point of view.

By the way, does anyone know, if such practice is legal or not? Even in case you are spying your children? Just curious.
