Detective 2.1e

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application scans and detects inappropriate files and folders containing suspicious words and content, but the bulk of its features are exclusive to the registered version. During installation, the program gives you the option to simply run Omniquad Detective without actually installing it. However, this option contains an error and immediately shuts the installation window down. Its user-friendly interface allows you to scan your PC for moot items containing explicit terms from its keyword list, to which you can add. The program's scanning process is dreadfully slow and any items identified by file content aren't viewable. However, you can view any items recognized by their file name, although deletion isn't available in this version. Nevertheless, personal PC users and system administrators in need of a spy tool to determine if questionable materials are lurking on their machines will find it useful.

Publisher's description

From Omniquad :

Detective is Omniquad's solution for those who have misgivings about how and for what their computer systems were used. It examines computer activity BACKWARDS, detects illicit content and then displays a comprehensive log for inspection detailing what illicit material was stored, when and where. In addition to the existing extensive vocabulary set, user input is also supported. This option makes it more versatile and gives you more control.
