IAmBigBrother

Considering purchasing IAmBigBrother software particularly to monitor our child's AIM instant messages. Does anyone know if this does a good job of that? Also, is it easy to figure out how to install on the child's XP profile? Actually have 2 children, 2 different profiles or XP logins. Would I need to temporarily open up the restrictions on the profiles when installing?

 

I personally have never used IAmBigBrother, but have heard some things about it, some good some bad.. You can also use a keylogger program. Which will tell you everything your children type, but not what they see.

 

Kim Komando's website has plenty of information on keeping kids safe while surfing the internet. Sorry, but I have yet to find info on IAmBigBrother. Here's a couple of links to things on her site:

The one I was looking at is on:

http://www.iambigbrother.org/

While checking out their website, it appears as if they "do it all."

Only found one site with a review so far.
