Updated: 05/10/2005 |
Effective security on computers can save a computer user thousands of dollars every year. This stealth activity monitoring utility provides the PCs equivalent of the security camera (and much more) for your PC.
ActMon Computer Monitoring (ACM) is a PC and Internet monitoring software for monitoring designated workstations. The Home Edition can also be used for Parental Control. It is the perfect companion to your Anti-Virus and Firewall software.
Unlike most filter- and blocking software, once installed ACM runs 100% maintenance free. ACM has advanced stealth features to avoid tampering of the software.
Important: ActMon Computer Monitoring contains no "spyware" and must not be used as "spy software". It can only be installed on a PC that you (your company) owns, and the users of these PC must be informed. ActMon Computer Monitoring must not be used without proper warning in advance.
ActMon Computer Monitoring Highlights:
- Visual logging (Screenshots): See EVERYTHING that happens on your PC with the built-in screenshot recorder.
- Text Logging: Log keystrokes, user names, passwords, path names, access times, windows titles and send the log file by email, all invisible to the user. Fully searchable for keywords. This makes even the evaluation of large log files a snap!
- WEB Monitoring: Record all URLs of visited websites. The report can be made in plain text or HTML (just click & browse to the recorded sites). Works with all popular browsers!
- IM/CHAT Monitoring: Record both sides of an Instant Message (IM) or chat conversation. This feature works with all leading chat software (AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Microsoft Messenger, Yahoo Chat). For all other chat software ActMon does basic chat recording of all outgoing chats.
- AOL Monitoring: Record IM and chat conversations, emails and other content inside of AOL
- Receive the activity reports directly in your email. ActMon sends them invisibly. For maximum security and speed the report can be sent as password-protected, compressed ZIP file. [ActMon CM PRO only]
- Network functions: ActMon can save the log files directly over a local area network (LAN) and is prepared for an easy remote deployment. [ActMon CM PRO only]
- Include or exclude certain users from monitoring. [ActMon CM PRO only]
- ActMon CM is protected against manipulation: It runs invisibly and maintenance free. The log file is encrypted and the setup und un-installation is password protected. In fact, ACM is so stealth, many users deploy it as Laptop Anti-Theft and tracking software on there laptops.

Active Network Monitor® is a tool for the day-to-day monitoring of computers in the network. Active Network Monitor® runs under Windows NT/2000/XP and allows Systems Administrators to gather information from all the computers (even from the Windows 9x/Me computers) in the network without installing server-side applications on these computers. Active Network Monitor provides the powerful technology of storing and comparing received data. Administrators can make "snapshots" of the systems for future comparison and notation of changes.
Active Network Monitor® has a flexible plug-in based architecture that allows you to plug in necessary modules on demand. Each module (plug-in) performs a task and displays retrieved information in its own window. Active Network Monitor® ships with a predefined, constantly growing list of plug-ins, including plug-ins for monitoring services, devices, installed applications, disks, shared resources, hardware resources (IRQs, I/O, DMA and Memory), users, local groups, global groups and so on. Moreover, the Security Patch Analyzer plug-in performs security patch assessment for the following operating systems and applications: Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003, IIS 4.0/5.0, SQL Server 7.0/2000, MSDE 2000, MDAC 2.5-2.8, MSXML 2.6/3.0/4.0/5.0, IE 5.01 and later, Exchange 5.5/2000/2003, Windows Media Player 6.4 and later, Microsoft Virtual Machine, DirectX 7.0 and later, Microsoft Office, and so on.
With ANM you can:
- Use the growing list of plug-ins for gathering important information from the remote computers.
- Scan network computers by types (Server, Workstation, SQL Server, etc.).
- Scan network computers by names (you can select computers either from the network tree or load a predefined list from the file).
- View information immediately from a plug-in, rather than wait for a scan process of all your computers to be completed.
- Save retrieved information into the project in the special folder or into the external file.
- Load previously saved information from the project or from the external file.
- Export retrieved information into the CSV or TXT file.
- Compare two previously saved projects or external files using special simple to use Compare Wizard.
- Save compare results to the external file.
- Easily navigate through the compare results using special buttons.
- And much more!
