CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Family Cyber Alert takes the uncertainty out of the question, "What's my kid been doing online?" This app does far more than record every keystroke made, and it does it well.
Including the keystroke log, the program offers a full array of monitoring functions. All applications are under Family Cyber Alert's watchful eye, including separate logs for sent e-mails, chat participation, and Web sites visited. It also takes screencaps regularly, forwards you copies of any e-mails sent, and incorporates blocking software to block programs as well as specific Web sites. There's even a customizable automatic keyword "danger" alert and a networking feature to monitor remote machines. All this control isn't arbitrary, though; it allows the Administrator to set specific users outside of its purview and observe the rest.
Family Cyber Alert doesn't show up in the start menu or control panel, so uninstalling the program must be done from the command line. However, to do so you must close it, and that requires the password, so the app is virtually tamperproof. If you need to keep a watchful eye over how your computer gets used, whether for a child or an employee, Family Cyber Alert tells you all.

Version: Family Cyber Alert 3.96
"This is the best monitor tool"
Pros: As a computer shop owner serving consumers and small businesses, I tested several monitor tools. This one comes on top. It is very easy to use and has more features. The email real time alert does not require you to set up mails and it has built-in email engine. After logging in with a password, the use report is presented in an organized way, including websites, screenshots, instant messenger, key logger, files, et al. It runs in the background. You donĂ¢Â?Â?t see it anywhere. Their support is great in setting it up on a network. I highly recommend it.

Version: Family Cyber Alert 3.96
Pros: I have been using this product for 2 months. I am very happy with its performance. It has everything I need to monitor my computers at home and at office. It is easy to use. I really like the report panel that tells me everything including keystrokes. With one click, I can also block bad websites and games. The real time email alerts work well for me. I have recommended it to many friends.
Cons: Need to click to get updates

"As a mother of three, I strongly recommend this awesome tool"
Pros: It has everything parents need to monitor Internet and computer use. On my own computer, I can even check other three computers my kids use. It is easy to use and provides all the information parents want. You do need a family pack license to do this though. It is great help tool.
