Review by Jerome Johnston (Cybersecurity Editor)

on 21 May 2012

Let's imagine that you have kids that use the computer and you would like to closely monitor their activity and especially their messenger conversations. That's a very good thing because in today's dangerous world, you can never know who is at the other end of your computer and chatting with a complete stranger can have a very bad effect over your privacy and security. But in order to monitor the chat activity of your child, you will need a specialized application for this. Most chat clients don't allow monitoring their conversations, but using the Messenger Detect application, you will be able to see every single conversation.

The application is not difficult to install and starts monitoring as soon as it's launched, launching a system service. In this way, even if the child closes the program, the monitoring process will still run as a process. Then, the parent will be able to check the chat log and view his child's conversations at any moment. Optionally, he can export the chat log as an encrypted file and can import it into the program later on.

A password is also required when launching the application, to prevent the child from tempering with the application's settings. In case the parent doesn't have physical access to the child's computer, he can configure Messenger Detect to automatically send logs through email, on a regular basis. In this way, he will be able to keep an eye on his child's conversation, no matter where he is.

The application is compatible with the most known chat applications, like Yahoo Messenger and MSN Live Messenger.

Pros

It can monitor every chat conversation and can display a log of it at any moment. Besides that, the program is compatible with most chat applications available. Furthermore, it can be configured to automatically send logs through emails.

Cons

The program may be a bit difficult to configure at first because of the large number of options available. Messenger Detect allows you to monitor any chat conversation using an invisible system process, offering support for a wide range of messenger applications.
