Web Browsing History software
Hi,

Hoping someone out there has a software suggestion that is easy and inexpensive, hmm may be asking for the impossible......

The powers to be want to track where the employees are browsing during working hours. We are presently using opendns.org to block a lot of sites, however the department heads are concerned employees are doing banking, Christmas shopping and other web related activities during working hours.

Free is always good, however there are enough requests for this type of information that if there is a cost to buy software, that will also be considered.

Simple software that can be installed, run in stealth mode and that will generate a report of which user browsed where.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Regards,
Dmack9185

This is a delicate matter on TSG, especially to me. There is no real way of knowing the real intent behind your request anyway. So, I'm not sure you'll get a lot of "site rule approved" information. If you need to block certain content from employees, simply use adequate filters instead of spying on them. Is the job getting done? If it is, why punish the employees for surfing the Web a little. I say happy employees are more productive.

Besides, you'll find everything you need on Google...

Indeed. This is something to be taken up with the IT department, and unfortunately, we do not assist with either tracking browsing habits OR commercial business IT departments.

Closing thread.

thanks,
