if his brother is going to do something that will (possibly) ruin his family and his life just to spite his mother, then i think the keylogger is justified.

edit: i also agree with richdog and michaeld, try other methods first.

He seems to be too dangrous. We got to do something about it. Call Mr.Bush, and I'm sure he'll have his job done.

It is the responsibility of the parent, not the sibling.

and the sibling is helping his parent, who seems to be not very computer saavy.

Anyways I am on break this week and I would like to install some sort of program where I could monitor his activities and sees what hes doing and limit him from school.

Translated from College student to English you think this means:

My mother has asked me to provide the tools and knowledge to help her monitor my brother. So instead of tracking down software built for this purpose, I will use software of shady origins so that my mother can monitor the activities of my brother because she is too busy to do so in person.

Not for any malicious purposes or anything. My mom is really concerned that my brother spends too much time on the internet, which I see as well as whenever I call home the phone is always tied. Hes pre-teens/early teen years so hes all rebelious and doesn't listen to anyone. I tell him to limit his time to two hours a day and well he doesn't listen. I personally think is killing his social life, as it seems he has very little friends and spends most of his time splaying starcraft or what not. My mom one of those over protective type, and watched one to many unsolved mystery/Americas most Wanted and feels my brother would some day meet some dude on a chat room and try to meet with them. Sad thing is I am not sure that he wouldnt't. Anyways I am on break this week and I would like to install some sort of program where I could monitor his activities and sees what hes doing and limit him from school. Anyway I can do this?

Anybody who lets their kid on the net without monitoring software is an idiot. When the kid ends up on a milk carton, will your mom finally realize that he has no business with an internet connection in his room? Jebus how dumb can some parents be?

Easy fix: Make the kid buy Net nanny. Set it for maximum choke on the net.

Easier fix: Rip the phone line out of his wall in the bedroom. Password protect the family pc in the living room.

You need a keylogger, simple as that, that will send u logs remotely without him knowing... I've used software like this before, and it works great for spying on, uh, people you care about... lol

If you really cared about someone why would you spy on him/her?

If, in your opinion, their judgment is impaired, then it becomes your obligation to help protect them. Your question is like saying 'If you really care for somebody, why won't you give them the freedom to drive drunk?'

And under what authority do you undermine the foundation of the United States of America? It is one thing for a parent to monitor their child's behavior and actions. It is another to violate the privacy of someone without justified reasons.

Sorry, preteen/teenagers have no rights. The PARENTS run the house.

Just a thought, what's wrong with spending hours a day in front of a computer, esp. if it's just gaming & chatting w/ his friends? I started @ ~12-13, and yeah, I was heavily into it, still am (sometimes 8+ hours/day over breaks). That hasn't kept me from having many good friends, and a few, usually relatively long-lasting relationships. It may/may not have anything to do with the fact that I am/always have been drug/tobacco free, although the weekends spent w/ like-minded friends gaming in stead of such healthy, social activities as partying during high school leads me to believe it might. There are some definite benefits to computer addiction, over other types. And hey, he might even grow out of it...

Just my $0.02

Right - otherwise, what is the point of being a "parent" if you're nothing but a "financial guardian".

Well duh. If you don't wear a trojan, then you'll get a virus. Not sure where the horse fits into all of this, but that's just sick. :Q
