You can create lists of always allowed or blocked websites, you can block programs for all accounts or only selected accounts. You can set the screenshots time interval and the maximum space available for images. You can set the monitoring to run between certain intervals of your choice.

The data can be either stored on a local disk or on a remote machine. Logs can be also sent automatically as emails, in case you leave your machine unattended for a longer period of time.

Like the majority of the programs alike, you can suppress unauthorized access to the program and its settings by setting a password. You can run the program in stealth monitoring mode and you can remove its entries from the start menu in order to keep it hidden.

Pluses: You can monitor activity by entering certain keywords or you can use internal pornography keywords. You can set the program to send an email or to take a screenshot every time a keyword is encountered.

Drawbacks / flaws: Unfortunately, the program cannot be used to monitor Yahoo! Messenger versions above 7.5 and MSN Messenger versions above 7.5; you can only monitor AOL IM up to version 6.0 and Google Talk beta.

In conclusion: A reliable, well designed an fully featured computer activity monitoring utility. Its nice and comprehensive interface makes it extremely easy to set up and use.
