Default RE: How can I find out what my niece is doing to get so much spyware

Hi Terry,

Well as far as if there is a way to keep her from downloading and installing
junk from bad websites there is a way. Go to Control Panel > Network and
Internet Connections(catagory view - skip if in classic view) > internet
options > security > internet > custom level > Disable the following:
Unsigned active X, active X not marked as safe, file download. This will
keep her from doing all that installing however you must go in and enable
when you need to. As for your question on how to find out what she is doing
there are several monitoring software programs such as SpectorSoft and such.
Which will take screen shots and key logs of everything she does but its not
free. Good Luck 2 ya! Also Like Kevin said you need some Security such as
Antivirus suite with firewalls and antispyware and antispam.
