User Monitoring needed

Last response: in Windows XP
Share

Hi ,

I got a roommate who visited sites and then deletes his history and internet temp files everytime he shuts down the computer. I want to ask anyone for recommendations on software to monitor a user on a computer even if they delete their activities after use.

So software that registers "visited sites, recently openen files, etc..." other than the standard internet explorer options, if there is such a software program...
I think there must be ...

Thank you
Newbie

Sure it's ethical to want to know what YOUR computer is doing. What if his room mate is downloading child porn on his computer. I think that is somethhing he would want to put an end to.

Your arrogance is boring!

The original poster never indicated that the roomate uses his computer. In fact, from the words he uses the indications are that the roomate uses his own.
Your what if is a concern, KP is a very serious issue, and if he suspects it and has evidence or suspicion he should contact campus police. They take this very seriously.
However, you are assuming a lot. So until hons gives us more detail I still stand by my warning whether you like it or not.

If ignorance is bliss you must be one happy camper. Sorry that wasn't called for, my apoligies

If it's his computer, don't worry about it.

If it's on your computer, change your username/password so he can't access it.

Software solutions will cost you money.

You could download a program called "Windows Grep" which will pull up all files deleted that haven't been overwritten by something else. That will show you his cookies, temp. internet files, and you might be able to restore the history.
Granted, this might pull up years of history.

I find this program helpful when users delete files off their computer and really need them.
