questions about this product

[Ken Wehrheim]

I have several things I'd like to know about this product before I part with $40 for it.

First, is there a way to make this completely covert? No atomic clock, no icons, no nothing. My daughter is quite computer savvy and would notice anything out of the ordinary. The minute she saw the thing about watch right, she'd go online, search the name, and I'm busted. I need a program that can be operated in the background with no splash screen, no system tray icon, etc.

Second, if I first install it on her computer and register it, would I be able to also install it on my computer, and then export the logs onto a disk and view them on my computer? The longer I have to spend using the program on her computer, the closer I am to being busted.

Third, if she direct connects and exchanges files with someone, will those files be saved to a folder where I can view them?

There is no spash screen, and the atomic clock only shows up when WR is first launched, as a means to access its Control Panel (or if the person being monitored finds a shortcut to launch the program out of curiosity.) There is no clue on the atomic clock screen as to how one can open the Control Panel, or that hints to what the program really is.

Once WR is enabled for monitoring, there is no tray icon or anything that shows its presence in any obvious way. The only way to find out an unknown program is running in the background would be by opening the Windows Task Manager, from which WR cannot be terminated manually (a login password is needed to close the program.)

You would need another registration number in order to install it on a second computer, as the reg # is generated using a hard disk's serial number.

You may however export the logs to a text file. Once you open the Control Panel and click on "View Logs", you can manually save the data to a text file by clicking on the "Copy" button, and then review them on another computer.

Third, if she direct connects and exchanges files with someone, will those files be saved to a folder where I can view them?

No, WR will not save files that are sent through direct connections between two users -- only data sent through AIM, or Internet Explorer sessions.
