A hot and important issue for families continues to be security of the home computer. The ability to track harmful changes and recover lost data is one aspect of security that is frequently and easily overlooked.Co-founder of Pandora Corp., makers of PC Pandora monitoring software, Manuel Coats, stated: "Another item on the 'safe PC' list is the ability to know everything that happens on your machine." He adds: "There is lot that can happen to your PC, on purpose or by accident, that can have an affect on its performance - and on your safety. If the wrong files get deleted, you can have a seriously corrupted system. Even worse, if the wrong setting is changed or the wrong files deleted, you could find yourself locked out of your own bank account or even have your private passwords and personal information opened up to anyone that cares to look."
Kids will be spending more time on the family computers with the beginign of the summer months, meaning that the chances of something happening to those machines increases.
says Chief Software Evangelist Chris Graham declared:
"Young users are more prone to accidental deletions." He continued: "If you have a record of everything that happened, you can isolate the problem and have a better shot at fixing it."
There is also the case of illegal activity being performed on a family PC. The computer's owner is the one who will answer to authorities, whether it's downloading pirated music and movies, or even inappropriate and illegal photos of underage peers.
PC Pandora is monitoring software that records all user activity. PC Pandora, by taking sequential snapshots of all activity on screen, effectively acts as a DVR for your PC. Telling you who did what and when, the snapshots will allow you to see everything that happened on your computer. Further details of user activity, such as websites visited, emails sent and received, instant messenger chats, keystrokes logged, peer-2-peer files traded, programs accessed and more, can be seen in text-based files.
