Do you know any of programs can manage a computer from internet?

Question

I work frequently on internet. My son is usually online at his friend's home. I want to know which pages he entered often. Are there any of softwares I can use? Thanks.

Answer 1

Managing a program is usually referred to as "remote access" and there are some excellent ones available.

But it sounds like you dont want to manage it. What you want is "nanny software". You can put that on your machines but putting it on your sons friends machine is illegal.

Answer 2

You know..

.. Some parents protect their children by *empowering* them with information and raising them to conduct themselves safely, compassionately and intelligently; that way, they don't have to "monitor" or spy into their children's privacy. Instead, they have the confidence to know that they may not have their eyes on their children, but their children carry their parent's caring wisdom with them.

Of course, you didn't raise your child's friend. However, you should have the confidence that your child will exercise sound judgement in the face of whatever pops up on a computer, of which there can only be one or two things: picture and/or sound.

That's it.

And, what if you *were* to find this software you seek? What if you could actually violate your son's (friend's) privacy and find out exactly what was on it; what would you do? Would you confront your son if you found out he was viewing content you found objectionable? How would you explain to him the way you found this information out?

What if he finds out you've posted this invasive question?

But all that is garbage: the most important questions are "how would that affect your relationship with your son? What would that do to his sense of trust and self-confidence?"

What's more important to you, his love for and trust in you or his internet viewing habits?

Here's your "software": close your laptop and/or turn off your computer, look at your son, open your mouth and TALK TO HIM. Then, when he has something to say, SHUT UP AND LISTEN!

I don't care if you hate me for writing that; really, I don't care as I don't know you. And, apparently, neither do you know your son.

Today is just as good a day as any to start getting to know him better...and let him get to know you better and build the bonds between you two.

Because today it's just his friend's internet; tomorrow, it'll be his friend's car, driving your son to another town..maybe another state. And friends will meet with more friends with varied interests and tastes (not all of which will be safe and savory) and there won't be any "software" you can use to try to *control* your son's life at that point... not that it's your life to control anyway. But it is your obligation as a parent to protect him and I can understand, on some sick level, that's all you're really trying to do. Well, then protect him from the *inside*: give him the benefit of your experience and wisdom, not the handicap of your fears. That way, no matter "what he may be seeing" (or doing), he'll know right from wrong because that is what you taught him.

Answer 3

Not to sound like a sadist, but if he's old enought to wonder, he's probably old enough to know...
...but if it's any peace of mind, if you are worried about porn sites, most computers that access porn become taken over by it, rendering them kinda useless until it is professionally removed (i'm the guy people call to remove this kind of crap in my neighborhood, which keeps me busy). I'll bet his freind has already gotten in trouble for it, or is just a "good lil' boy" ;)

Answer 4

your sun is looking at porn, if he is over 13 he is looking at porn, there is no way for you to legally hack your sons friends computer. all you can do is talk to your sons friends parents and make sure they block that crap.

Answer 5

Rama!!! Rama!!! Rama!!! You are talking about spying on your son. :)

No. If you are talking about looking into your son's friend's computer, you are out of luck.
