Hello, I was in the same boat a few months back. As a parent of teenage boys and after looking at almost every monitoring software available, I narrowed it down to two...WebWatcher and Spectorsoft. I read every review I could. Protecting your children is a major responsibility so you want to make the right decision. I have a good friend who is an IT guy. I too was concerned about sensitive information out on the web. Spectorsoft emails reports to you...not safe. WebWatcher is web based. Concerned again. But being web based turns out to be the best feature of all the monitoring software out there. My IT friend told me as long as information is stored on a server that is SSL encrypted, no worries. The same thing a bank uses. That is one of the reasons why I chose WebWatcher. The main reason...REMOTE monitoring. When I am traveling and my boys are online, I just log in on WebWatcher's site with my user name and password and Voila!...I can see what they are doing on the computer at home. Pretty darn cool! With Spectorsoft you have to get on the computer after your kids were on it to see what took place. A bit cumbersome if you ask me and defeats the purpose. Very happy with WebWatcher so far.
