PCMonitor allows you to either secretly view the activities of another user or you can use the parent control features to limit a user's access to the computer. Taking control of your PC is next step beyond monitoring. Many parents have problems with their children spending too much time on the Internet, chat rooms, or playing games. With PCMonitor, you can control what they can do and when they can do it. The best part is that it is easy to set up. In stealth mode, PCMonitor captures everything to find out exactly how the computer is used. You can view what Internet sites were visited, what e-mails were sent, what was said on instant messaging, and what software they used. In parent control mode, you get all the benefits of all the stealth monitoring features plus the ability to limit how the computer is used. You can limit when a user is allowed to use the computer, how much time they can use software, and when they can use various software. Version 4.6 offers new limiting features.
