CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program monitors your computer's use and protects it from unauthorized access, although IM surveillance is limited to AOL Instant Messenger.

IMSurfSentinel's well-organized interface lets you enter user-defined keywords and phrases to easily block sites, conversations and programs. You can block certain programs from running, and you can specify the URLs to prohibit. Define a target time interval and IMSurfSentinel will accurately monitor your system's activity using screen captures and keyloggers. The program is hidden on your system and includes standard password-protection features to protect configurations from unauthorized alterations.

While it performs well, the program only provides individual logs for AIM. For all others, you'll have to check out the keylogger entries, and even then the other parties' messages aren't logged. It's not as powerful as some other monitoring applications, but IMSurfSentinel does provide customary system monitoring.

Publisher's description

From Voelker Software :

IMSurfSentinel is an Internet monitoring spy software solution. It allows you to secretly monitor AIM conversations, block AIM conversations, act as a keylogger by monitoring keys, monitor browser activity, record URLs, record screen activity, perform a screen capture on a set interval, block URLs, and block programs. You can monitor and log instant messenger IM activity, browser activity, and keyboard activity. You can also record screenshots of all activity at set intervals. In addition, logs of instant messenger conversations, browser activity, keystroke logs, and keystrokes can be e-mailed to you at set intervals.

Version 2005.5 may include unspecified updates, enhancements or bug fixes.
