WebWatcher works like this:
Install it on the computer the person you want to monitor uses.
Their activities are silently recorded.
This information is securely copied into your online account.
You view this information from anywhere with a web browser.
With WebWatcher you can watch what your kids or other individuals are
doing from anywhere with nothing more than a web browser.
Most other software we reviewed requires that you sit at the computer
the person you're monitoring uses anytime you want to review recorded
data.
Doing this once is bad enough, but for those parents and other consumers
looking to be unobtrusive, having to constantly get access to the
computer being monitored can be very difficult if not impossible.
With WebWatcher, this isn't a concern though, since you can keep an eye
on things from anywhere. This feature alone puts WebWatcher at the top
of the heap--to say nothing for the rest of its great features.
WebWatcher's only real shortcoming is that it has no mechanism for
blocking P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications. With the growth of illegal
music downloading and movie piracy that takes place on P2P networks,
this is a feature we'd like to see them add to their next release.
We're also a bit disappointed there's no version for the Apple Mac, but
as this will not affect most consumers, who use Windows XP anyway, it's
understandable.
