Once you are logged in, go to the ‘Dashboard’ and you’ll find a raft of statistics there.
If you have OpenDNS configured at the router (which is more secure), then the statistics are for your whole network.
If you have it configured at each PC or device, then the stats apply to that device.

I see. Thx for your clarification.

I strongly encourage the use of http://opendns.org for website protection / logging. If you want to know where this PC (or any PC on your home network, including wireless devices) have been going, opendns logs all website requests. You can block certain categories, or you can let the request go through and just have it logged for your later checking (you can also check remotely). It also protects against known phishing and other ‘baddy’ sites.

opendns is a pretty good parental control service but it seems that it can not be used as a keylogger monitoring tool.

A friend of mine recently gave my youngest brother (he’s 10) an old laptop (2006 ish but built like a late 90’s PC) but my brothers been getting himself into trouble with it. I don’t want to use simple restrictions like giving him a restricted user account (some of the games he plays won’t work on a restricted account and he needs to be able to update without me) but I do want to place limits on him. As this already sounds like I’m rambling I’ll just make a list:

I need a keylogger that’s easy enough to use, compatible with XP and stores data locally to be read by another account (our network isn’t ready for a network solution). The keylogger should be something that Avira won’t try to hack. It should also preallocate a certain amount of space and delete old logs when they reach the limit. His internal drive is only 80GB and more than half of that is probably our collective music (5 people in a house and we all have our own taste in music and we all like some stuff the others like so I keep Music synchronized across the computers in my house).

I need a way to restrict what sites he can go on without limiting his user account in and of itself. Preferably a program that works at a lower level than the browser so he can’t just use a different browser (I know he could just use a different computer but that’s another animal altogether).

At current his computer only has his account on it but I plan to create another account for me to administrate on (and of course check the results of the keylogger). I also plan to create a guest account (though not going through Windows built in guest account system, I’ll use my own settings with a password that I’ll tell certain people).

(Below is a form of rant to deal with a particular type of response):
Before someone says to just take it away from him remember that this is the 21st century and he’s in school where they expect him to use a computer to create office documents and print them off as well as go online and do research. Since we don’t have home internet yet (and I’m really hoping it doesn’t keep getting pushed back as it has been) the laptop allows him to go to the library and get his work done on the wireless (and save data to his machine without needing to rely on gdocs for everything). I realize it’s possible to live without a laptop but I did just that for many years and I know that at least where I’m living it’s practically impossible.

Thanks in advanced.

Every new electonic or social media advance presents new challenges for parents. Actually one of my child is using facebook. I want to monitor her on facebook. What sould I do? I don’t know what date of birth she used. I don’t know much. I cannot talk to her. Theres a few people from her school that I’m really concerned about. Is it OK if I use a service to see who’s she is chatting with and what they are talking about? I am considering using these keylogger Mac|keylogger for Mac to spy on him.

I am going to look at a laptop that has a keylogger on it. The friend knows it has a keylogger on it placed by his ex. My question, if I create a second administrator account and then delete the first administrator account, would that remove the keylogger?

I know I can use a multitude of free tools like Adaware, spybot, paid for antivirus, malwarebytes etc etc or I can find and delete it using Hijackthis too as I am familiar with using it, but was just chewing on some other ways to do it.

I have the same problem with the OP. Things are different that I am using a Mac. Is there anyway to know if my keystroke is being captured by some keylogger Mac or so?

I lost a password (got changed) and I’m afraid there might be a keylogger for Macinstalled in my Mac… (only use the pw in this Mac)
