The reason why requests for websites monitoring software have increased, it’s because Internet took a whole new dimension. Due to the risk of being exposed to malware or Internet thievery Internet became an unsecured environment where as in the real world, you need to keep your eyes wide open.

The main user category is the parents, which choose to use this type of software in order to protect and keep an eye on their children. Below, I have resumed and reviewed 4 of the best websites monitoring applications, that everyone can use to find out every website visited from a specific computer. I will also do my best to reflect the pros and cons of each application in part.

1. I will start with Application Blocker which is not just a website monitoring software, but also a parental control tool. The application allows you to select and block specific websites while it can also record the ones visited. So if you see a website that is visited by your child and you find it inappropriate you can easily add it into the blocking list and restrict access to it. More than websites monitoring and blocking, the application can also block access to applications, chat, multimedia, browsers etc. You can define blocking sessions, enable notifications and many other things specific for a parental control software. The price is $29.95 so I think it’s the best deal for a parental control software.

   

2. Stealth Website Logger, as its name says it’s an invisible, easy-to-use application that records every website visited, indifferent the browser your children is using. The recorded activity is organized in logs and sent to a specific e-mail address so you can have a further analyze. Stealth Website Logger has also a password protected interface and hot-key combination for accessing the application. The price is only $9.95 so I guess it’s a good option that everyone can afford it.

   

3. Website Spy is another website monitoring software that works in complete stealth mode. A small difference between this application and the one mentioned above is that the last one exports the messages to HTML files in a directory for later analysis, or FTP server but also to a specific email address. Regarding the security measures, this is also password protected and has a hot-key combination for accessing its interface. The disadvantage is the price which is $49.99, pretty much for an application of this kind.

   

4. The latest, but not the last one is All-Spy Keylogger, a complex monitoring application that beside the website monitoring, can also record applications running, chat conversation, printed documents and much more. So if you want to watch every step your child is making online, All-Spy Keylogger is a great application for only $29.95.

   

As you see, I did not limit my research to only one type of application. I tried more, in order to provide solutions for different types of users. And I’m pretty sure that you have other proposals, that’s why I ask you to list them in the comments below, maybe your suggestion will help a parent in need.
