Publisher's description of System Surveillance Pro
SSPro is an all-in-one computer monitoring solution. An essential tool for parents concerned with online activity and network administrators wishing to monitor their employee's computer usage.

Configure SSPro's e-mail features to send logged data and screen snapshots offsite for remote viewing. SSPro's built-in pornographic keyword features allow users to block and/or be notified when objectionable content is encountered. Want to define your own keywords? No problem, SSPro allows for that too. SSPro also includes website blocking, monitor scheduling, reports, usage limits, or multi-machine networked configurations.

Version: System Surveillance Pro 5.5
"Excellent combination of monitoring features"
Pros: VERY simple to use and does the job as advertised. All monitoring features worked flawlessly and as expected. Browser blocking based on my own words was very flexible and website blocking through the "blocked" and "not blocked" lists covered everything else.
Log viewing areas were well organized which made it a breeze to view the data. Keystroke, instant message and program tracking all worked well. Snapshot feature has a ton of options including pausing when the computer is idle and adjusting the image quality to save diskspace. Never encountered any annoying pop-ups to register during the trial period other than the standard one that is displayed AFTER logging into the program.
Overall very satisfied. Good tool for the experienced computer user and novices like myself.
Three FYIs
The image limit is set to 20 megs but you will want to increase it to at least 100 megs.
Viewing data in ranges of more than a couple of months can take time so best to view on a daily, weekly or single month period.
As with most of these programs I tried, make sure you configure with any anti-spyware or AV program your using.

"Stable, Reliable, Great Asset."
Pros: I currently use this version and the previous 4.8 and it keeps getting better. I run 2 small book stores and have this running all the time. I'd rather have my people working then surfing online all day long (although some surfing is allowed). Very smooth setup and configuration only takes a minute or two. All the information is emailed to me at home so I can see exactly what websites they are going to. The support people are very friendly and prompt with their replies, even on the weekends which is why I took the time to write this. Would definitely recommend.

"Works with IE7 but not with Firefox. Crtls time & computer use & internet fine."
Pros: It is very good at what it does. Have tested it on a few sites and seems to block what needs to be blocked.
Cons: Did not work with the FireFox browser.

Version: System Surveillance Pro 5.5
"Very effective software - Keeps me informed."
Pros: This program saved my family! Without going into too much detail, just knowing what was going on has really opened my eyes. "Trust but Verify"... If you want a rock solid, easy to use program to watch what your kids are doing online then this is the one. I only wish we had this years ago when we got our first computer.

"expensive confusing and buggy?"
Cons: at 49.95 this is very expensive, i do believe in the old saying'you get what you pay for' this time it does not ring true. even at 49.99 this is a very confusing and buggy monitoring solution which seemed at also install some sort of spyware or adware on my system. when i ran spybot it picked up something called gator?
