CNET Editors' review
Monitor your child's computer and Internet activities with this efficient spy program, although its options are minimal. Equipped with a basic, outdated interface, SnapKey: Parental Internet Monitor offers three options: record and display online and offline activity, capture screen shots, and log chat transcripts. During installation, the program recommends SnapKey be installed on a disk to be certain it remains concealed. The program displays all keyloggers, applications opened, and Web sites visited, along with the dates and times. You can save and print logs or even monitor findings from a remote location, but this is only available in the registered version. Though it's geared towards parents, this handy tool is favorable to anyone on the lookout for an astute monitor.

"Bad programm"
Version: SnapKey: Parental Internet Monitor 2
Summary
A programm of 712 KB. which has (with the not registred version) only the feature to record keystrokes. Registration costs are 30 dollars, and the product itself isn't good.
The programm installs itself (you don't have any idea where because the only thing it says is that it is installed), and when looking at the hidden files in programm files, it isn't there, so you are not able to uninstall it.
I have no idea how long the trial version is, but it is less then 2 weeks, and it wouldn't wonder me much if it is just 3 or even 1 day.
It could be caried on a floppy (that's nice) to make it totally stealthed, but the programm installed on the computer cannot be uninstalled.
There is also an irritating ad for registration for a few seconds at starting Snapkey and leaving it.
I would stick with spy-keylogger.
* More options.
* Uninstall posibility.
* 412 KB. (a lot smaller)
* 30-day trial

"This program completely locked up my computer"
Version: SnapKey: Parental Internet Monitor 2
Summary
This program locked up my computer and locks it up every time I try to use it. To make matters worse, I can't remove it because it locks up every time I try. The company's phone numbers DO NOT WORK, so I'm stuck. Stay away from this!
