Looking for a program manager

I am looking for a free program that will keep track of programs that have been downloaded/uninstalled on my PC. The purpose of this is to make sure that the other family members that use the computer do not accidently download something harmfull, or uninstall something usefull. I would like something that will display the product name,description,and time of the event. Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

I use A-Shampoo's unistaller suite. I dont think this program will do everything you want it to. (Incidently ive never heard of a program that can.) But its pretty good for monitoring installations. It records your system state at the time of install and then logs every change to your folders, registry etc. Then when you want to uninstall you know that every trace will be gone! (At least thats what it claims, and it does seem to do the biz.)

If you want to stop your family installing anything possibly harmful you could set them up with different user names that dont have administrator rights. That would stop them installing general programs. And then install some sort of live spyware/malware program that constantly checks for dangerous events happening on your pc.

Hope that helps a bit.
