Keep your family safe online
Family Cyber Alert is a comprehensive application that will allow you to monitor what your children are getting up to when they're online.
It's really difficult to keep kids safe online but an app like Family Cyber Alert will make it easier. The program divides monitoring into various sections - applications used, websites visited, keystrokes and files accessed. It also monitors instant messaging conversations and can be configured to take regular screenshots, so you can see exactly what's going on.
Family Cyber Alert worked well in tests - when you unhide the program, you can see a comprehensive list of absolutely everything that has been done on the computer since you last checked. The program is protected by a password and doesn't show up under Task Manager, so it's difficult to detect or modify the app unless you know the hotkey to reveal the management interface.
Unfortunately, Family Cyber Alert didn't do well on instant messaging conversations, and seemed unable to record chatting activity, except when a chat window randomly appeared in a screenshot. Family Cyber Alert isn't a very attractive program either - it looks old-fashioned and monitoring results aren't the easiest to view or manage. Apart from this, however, Family Cyber Alert is an accessible and easy to use device that will help protect your kids from online predators.
Keep an eye on your kids with Family Cyber Alert.

Account access.
I purchased, installed and used the program successfully. When i chose to update, I need the original code (not my password) which I no longer have. How do I access the program now?
My email address is new (not the address I had when the software was purchased) - I can provide the old address to you, but it does not work anymore. More

Sure it works.... but don't count on tech support.
Pros: Easily installation
Small footprint
Not easily detected
Decent keylogger (if antivirus doesn't block it)
Generic error when blocking web pagesCons:
Difficult to configure
Real Time Watch is sketchy at best
Terrible screen capture viewing interface
EXTREMELY short (and rude)support lifetimeSummary: The short of it is this product does it's job..... somewhat. All of the shortcomings were something I could deal with as it essentially worked.... until I actually had a support request. I have very seldom heard, let alone experienced a denial of support on a paid product only 14 months after purchase. Rather than stand on my soap box and preach all the grievences I have please allow me to share my support request after I experienced a system crash on the pc I built for my children. After rebuilding the system and reinstalling their product I had trouble registering the software. Please keep in mind that the time frame between my purchase and the support request was exactly 1 year and 61 days. I also have complete transcripts posted to my facebook account and website. I can't post the direct link but if you go to facebook and look up Seth C. Morse from Illinois I'll give you all the details you need.My request:
"I'm having trouble entering the activation key. I enter the key I received via email and hit run but it still pops up with "You can run the program 7 more days before it expires" each time I enter back in. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you." Their reply:
"Your license is for one PC only. You purchased it well over a year ago. The free upgrade is no longer available to you. The new version requires new registration. If you ordered a CD, you can install it from CD. As a customer, you can upgrade to the New version without paying the full price. This offer is only available to existing FCA customers.
