Question
Employee Monitoring Software?
I have a small business, most of my employees require Internet access to do their jobs. I have some concerns about inappropriate use of the computers and how it might affect productivity. I know there is software for home computer monitoring but is there anything available for small businesses that will allow me to monitor my employees discreetly?

The answer about the server logs is good as far as it goes, but it takes a lot of work and interpretation to go through the logs ( which can be very large) to search for employee misconduct. There is software available that will give you detailed monitoring including screen snapshots, files accessed or transferred, web sites visited basically everything that happens on the computer. The industry leader in this type of software is a company called SpectorSoft. They make monitoring software for home or business use. They have two business products, Spector CNE and Spector 360 that will give you complete control of your workplace.

First thing learn how too check router logs! That will help. You might try the home monitoring software it may help. NO CYBER SLACKING.

My company uses software called websense(sp?) that you can actually block specific websites or websites with certain words in them (like sex) or something - Google it - not sure who makes it or how much it costs

Most of the stuff you are looking for is free in windows I have vista but it is to a lesser degree in other versions Log onto computers and install yourself as "Administrator" pass word protected add employees as "user" now install parental watchdog limit porn access and then when you are suspicious check web history or browse history. It might not be perfect but it will be a good place to start and then if you find reason to purchase sometimes costly software you can do it with the knowledge of what are your needs.
