Software Description

HomeGuard Activity Monitor provides comprehensive online and offline monitoring with emphasis on family/child safety through extensive parental control and computer monitoring features. HomeGuard Parental Controls and monitoring features are very low maintenance once installed they will require no intervention from you and no configuration is needed for most settings, HomeGuard will silently monitor and record everything blocking any content or activity you deem harmful or inappropriate and optionally send you Email notifications when such content/activity is blocked. It also has advanced record viewing features enabling you to quickly pinpoint an activity or focus on certain period of time or a certain user.

Block and monitor websites access using blacklists: blocks websites on a defined blocking list and allow access to all other websites not on the list, and whitelists: allow access only to websites on a defined allow list and block all other websites, effectively block porn and inappropriate content in websites, chat/instant messages and Email. And in addition to website filtering by name, filter content by type, e.g.: block all online video types or exe downloads. Blocking video in websites may be useful for blocking inappropriate content in normally non-porn sites like youtube, vimeo...etc and also in work environments for saving bandwidth on your network. HomeGuard also offers a network monitoring feature for tracking applications usage of the Internet, capturing network traffic details for each program.

Built in keylogger records every keystroke typed on the computer. And activity based screenshots capture tool for taking screenshots based on user actions, e.g.: when a website is visited, program started...etc Plus helps stop gaming addiction/excessive gaming by restricting program and Internet access to certain times of day or days of week. In addition to file monitor, printer monitor and USB devices (thumb drives, external hard disks..) monitor and blocker.

HomeGuard internet filtering cannot be bypassed by using proxy servers all network traffic will be captured and filtered for blocked websites, pornographic or inappropriate content or other blocked content defined by you. Also Internet and program usage time restrictions cannot be manipulated by changing system time, HomeGuard blocks system time changing for all users by default.

Choose which users to monitor and when: define specific times of day or days of week when HomeGuard will activate Internet and system monitoring.

Key features:

- Automatic content filtering of websites, chat messages and email for pornographic or inappropariate content or for a list of words defined by you. Internet content filtering cannot be circumvented by the use of proxy servers, all Internet traffic is filtered regardless of ports or destination, all while keeping the use of CPU and memory to a minimum through the use of advanced search and identification algorithms, thus adding very little to no overhead to computer and Internet speed.

- Block access to websites in a predefined 'black' list. Or allow access only to websites on a 'white' list, blocking all other websites. Recorded details include time spent on each website and which program was used to visit the website. As in content/porn filtering above, the use of proxy servers to defeat websites blocking won't work.

- Take screenshots at predefined intervals and times of day and days of week. By default it will take screenshots every 10 minutes everyday but can be set to take screenshots as often as every 2 seconds. It can also take screenshots when a website is visited, a keyword is found, a chat message/instant message or Email is sent or received, a program is tarted, a file is printed or blocked events only.

- Set the times at which each program can be used and for how long. Or completely block certain programs. This feature is designed with excessive/addictive gaming in mind. Blocked programs cannot be opened by renaming the program, once a program is added to a blocking list its signature is computed and saved and it will be recognized no matter where it is on the hard disk or what its name is.

- Quietly record all keystrokes typed, time of typing, program keystrokes were typed in and window title at the time of typing. HomeGuard keylogger includes full support for languages using non Latin scripts (Unicode).

- View and/or block keywords searched for in search engines. Currently supports Google search, Yahoo and Bing (MSN).

- Record full text of chat messages (Currently supported are Yahoo and MSN/Windows Live messengers) and Email (pop3/smtp). Or (optionally) block all Chat and Email traffic. And filter chat messages and Email for harmful/inappropriate words.

- Set the time of day and/or days of week at which the computer and internet can be used. Time restrictions cannot be manipulated by changing system time, by default HomeGuard blocks system time changing for all users and you can define a list of users to allow to change time.

- Record total running time of programs and actual time spent on each program, how many words and characters typed and how many times the mouse was clicked in each program, total bytes sent and received by each program and more.

- This feature is rather radical but can prove useful...Blocks internet content by its type, for example you can bock all online video and flash (e.g. PornTube and the like but also YouTube, Metacafe, Vimeo...etc) other web page elements will still show (unless they were of blocked types too) but all videos will be blank. Use the built in list of types (includes: exe downloads, scripts, videos..) or add a custom (MIME) type.

- Allows monitoring and blocking of individual internet connections by port and IP addresses. Can be used to block certain Internet protocols (e.g. Peer to peer file sharing.) HomeGuard also attempts to detect protocol type of the connection and will show detailed statistics of the connection's duration and bandwidth used.

- Monitor and optionally block removable devices like USB thumb drives, external hard disks...etc useful for preventing sharing of pornographic files or protecting your computer against viruses and spyware transmitted on thumb drives.

- Monitor and block copying, deleting and moving of files.

- Monitor printed files and/or block printing altogether.

- Choose which users to monitor and at what times.

- By default records older than 30 days will be deleted auto. You can change this as needed or start a clean up at anytime.
