And you don't want to upgrade to Pro? Apparently you don't want to use
another version of Wispro? I did a Google using the search term,
"software like Wispro" and came up with this link to SecurityFocus's
listing of various security products. Maybe something there will be
useful for you:

Perhaps someone else reading this newsgroup will have a good suggestion
for you, too. I'm sorry I can't point you at exactly what you need.
Maybe just upgrading to Pro would be a better fit for you since that
would give you the fine-grained permissions missing in Home. It would
also give you the ability to make new user groups, assign the
permissions you want, and add specific users to those groups.
