What precautions parent needs to take while installing spyware

[Mahendra varma]

Here i am willing to know that Is there any such spyware that allows parents to spy on kids aim conversations and to check where they visit? As well as they should keep a track of at 4 to 5 days history of current visiting sites...and most important thing what precaution we need to take while installing any spyware on our machine.

Thanks for your help.

I get some guidelines from the site where they have mentioned what precautions to take while surfing on the internet and how to install on your computer, Software can never replace the need for having a parent or guardian actively involved with what a minor is doing online. Just as you would not turn a child loose in a big city alone, parents should never send their children online unsupervised.Do not use ?You may use NetNanny software to to maintain a database of their kids movements, but it also lets us log all their online contacts. You can check which sites children have visited, or attempted to visit, as well as the conversations conducted in instant messaging.

While installing any software you need to check for the ptr32w file, which might create the problem, correct information for ptr32w.exe or PARENT TOOLS SPYWARE. Many spyware / malware programs use filenames of usual, non-malware programs. If we have included information about ptr32w.exe that is inaccurate, we would greatly appreciate your help by updating the Process Information database and we will do our best to correct it.

The danger lays in the fact that most sites that offer cheat codes and craks are sponsored by pornography. A youngster may go looking for a simple cheat code, and be inundated by pornography related pop-ups. Spyware vendors, in the urge to produce more feature packed products and stay competitive, are launching and selling a new breed of spyware that can readily be abused by unscrupulous people, Further compounding this threat is the poor security implementation of some commercial remote monitoring packages. We have identified several spyware programs that open a default communication port on the target system and use a hard-coded or default, easy to guess or easy to brute force password.
