CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This program easily captures MSN Messenger conversations but it doesn't operate as slyly as many of its competitors. MSN Checker Sniffer can monitor, block, and record IM conversations in HTML or RTF files.
Like many of its type, it also e-mails chat logs to you. While its interface isn't anything to write home about, it's quite user-friendly. You'll simply indicate the IP address you wish to monitor and it immediately goes to work documenting all dialogue. If you're concerned about a particular person your kids are chatting with, MSN Checker Sniffer can block them all together. While the program's ease of use is refreshing, it doesn't operate as discreetly as we'd like.
This tool is easily located on the start menu and despite the fact that it offers hotkey access, it isn't password protected and can be uninstalled by anyone. There are no complaints with this 10-day trial utility's functionality, but software of this sort should be more covert in its operations.

Version: MSN Checker Sniffer 1
Pros: Looks like that is working fine, but this is not for me. I need to have a log for an account on the web
Cons: This product is for a local network, and I need to monitor msn account on the web
