Little Brother 3.0, designed by the folks at Kansmen Corporation, helps employers stop employee Internet misuse. The software displays who uses the Internet, what sites each user goes to, whether the site is productive or not, when the user is accessing the Internet, what the user does at each site, which users play games or spend time in chat rooms, etc.
Site licenses are available for even larger networks.
WinGuardian, by Webroot Software, Inc., is another monitoring utility and filtering alternative. The program basically monitors most everything a user does and even keeps track of what programs they use. It can log all text that a user enters into any program and it logs all Web sites they visit. Once the information is logged, a System Administrator views the logs and gets a big bowl of information on basically everything that an user did during a particular day. The program is free to try for 30 days.
