There are many different situations today that put people in positions of trust.
Parents hope to trust the internet activities of their children and employers hope to trust their employees to stay focused at work.
Unfortunately, a combination of temptation and boredom can lead to breaking rules.
To solve problems in the home and the workplace, computer surveillance software is available to assist.
There are various types of software available today that can be used in multiple situations.
One kind of computer surveillance software keeps track of incoming and outgoing emails.
Not only is it capable of tracking these correspondences, but it is also designed to forward the emails to you.
This means you can have an inside look at the conversations your children are having with their friends or teachers via email.
This becomes incredibly useful in situations where children refuse to disclose details about their personal life to their parents.
As a concerned parent, intercepting emails may be the only way to stay in touch with the problems your children may be facing in their lives.
This paves the way to get them help if needed.
Other computer surveillance software is designed to record more than the history of emails.
Online chatting and instant messages can be captured by some software.
More advanced applications including peer to peer file sharing, screenshots and typed keystrokes can aid in monitoring the activities of your child's or employee's computer.
Some computer surveillance software is designed to be installed on the computer and examined there by you.
Others come in the form of a flash drive, which can be inserted, the software downloaded, and then removed.
When the time comes for you to examine the activities taking place on the computer, you can simply reinsert the flash drive and all the information will be stored there, giving you the option of viewing the material at a later time.
It is unfortunate that so many situations arise that require the surveillance of computers.
However, with this useful technology, you can encourage honesty at home and in the workplace by exposing the existence of the software on the computers.
Indicate that the information gathered by the computer surveillance software will not be examined unless dishonest behavior is suspected.
That way, everyone understands the conditions and people can choose to be honest on their own.
