Monitoring Software


Software for monitoring the desktop and online activities of employees, family members, roommates or other users of a computer. Sometimes referred to as parental control software, monitoring software can quietly monitor and log PC and online activities or more actively filter content and block offensive websites from being accessed.

It isn’t always easy to distinguish monitoring software from spyware, which is why at least one of the following criteria must be met in order for the installation of monitoring software to be considered legal:

The owner of the software must also be the owner of the computer it is going to be installed on
The owner of the software must be the parent of a minor child
The owner of the software must have the consent of all users of the monitored computer
