“My son was bringing friends home that seem shaddy/dubious. The conversations between my child and his friends made me question what activities they were engaged in. I noticed they were often times hiding things on the computer when I would walk into the room. Plus, his computer was often crashing because of programs he was downloading or websites he was visiting.
So PC Tattletale was a good monitoring device for computer crashes. Because of PCTattletale I am able to monitor chats (actual word-for-word chats), websites, and programs being ran on our PC. I could monitor what he was downloading and could easily fix the program, or block the website.
I recommend this software because its good, very easy to use, shows every thing, and is accurate.
Its helped our family because I its nice to have the information to support my fears and suspicions. I discovered the activities my child was involved in and was able to be more proactive with how we deal with him. In some cases we’ve been able to prevent him from making bad choices him and in other cases were able to get extra help (like taking drugs).
It also helped serve as a diagnostic tool when our computer crashed. So that saved us lots of headaches when trying to rebuild our computer. I’ve tried a couple other parent control programs such as Net Nanny and none of them offered the easy to use interface that PC Tattletale does. Net Nanny was complicated and the reports were difficult to save and print. Plus many of them don’t offer chat monitoring.
Being able to monitor chats are crucial to knowing what my son is doing or talking to other kids about. Chat rooms are where alot of conversations take place that show what my child is thinking about, talking about, activities he’s thinking of doing, etc.
Its nice to have the affirmation PC Tattletale provides by knowing not just suspecting what my child is doing.”
