WinGuardian description by publisher: Creator: "WinGuardian is a useful Windows watching tool & filtering alternative for parents, schools, & other organizations. This helpful utility runs completely hidden & records almost everything a person does on your computer. WinGuardian can keep track of what applications a person runs, log any text that´s typed into a application, log all web sites that are visited, & even capture screenshots at various specified intervals. You can review the captures & detect if a person is running inappropriate applications such as games or visiting web sites that your organization considers offensive. There´s also an option to have WinGuardian display an acceptable use policy (AUP) on the computer screen. A person must read the AUP & then click on the AGREE button before he or she is allowed to access the Internet. If users know that their actions are being watched, they´ll be deterred from using inappropriate applications or viewing inappropriate web pages. WinGuardian also gives you the option to "lock down" the Windows 95/98 environment so that users can only run applications that you authorize. Users will not be able to modify system settings (like the Windows background wallpaper) or run unauthorized software. This is useful in helping to prevent viruses & intentional or unintentional operating system changes. An additional feature of WinGuardian allows the system administrator to email out the log any file to a specific email address.
