New York, NY (PRWEB) August 7, 2008 — Today, PC security is an issue that touches almost every aspect of everyday life. Just as it is essential to safeguard kids from potential Internet dangers, it’s also essential to keep your PC safe from virus attacks, hackers, and perhaps even more importantly, those everyday mistakes and bugs that can result in the frustration of lost hours of work or irreplaceable family memories.

Parental control software is the best answer for parents looking to keep their kids safe online. But PC monitoring software can also perform a valuable function in any home - even one without kids - by keeping an exact record of everything you do on your PC.

“If you have children, having a visual record of everything your child does will help you to make sure they are not communicating with someone they shouldn’t be, or falling victim to — or acting as — a cyberbully,” explains James Leasure, Co-Founder of Pandora Corp., makers of PC Pandora monitoring software and Pandora Recovery file recovery software. “But for parents and adults in general, having a visual record of all the activity on your computer is not such a bad idea.”

For workers that spend a significant amount of time working at home, or professionals that travel frequently, monitoring software can be a lifesaver if an important document or presentation is lost, deleted or becomes corrupted and unable to be opened outside of the office environment.

Even for personal business such as online banking and bill paying, having that extra record of everything can be a relief when unexpected situations arise, such as online payments failing to go through, or worse yet, if users become victims of hacked accounts or other forms of identity theft.

“Monitoring software would effectively let you go back in time on your machine and replay everything that happened,” says Leasure. “If that means getting confirmation numbers you forgot to write down or safely finding a website that corrupted your machine, everything will be there.”

Having parental control/monitoring software can also be helpful if your machine sees usage by various third parties, including extended family in town for the weekend or your child’s friends. Programs like PC Pandora will enable you to track any harmful changes that may have been made to your system.

Leasure says, “There is lot that others can do to your PC, on purpose or by accident, that can have an effect on its performance — and on your safety. If the wrong files get deleted, you can have a seriously corrupted system. Even worse, if the wrong setting is changed or the wrong files deleted, you could find yourself locked out of your own bank account or even have your private passwords and personal information opened up to anyone that cares to look. If you have a record of everything that happened, you can isolate the problem and have a better shot at rectifying it.”

There is also the case of illegal activity being performed on a family PC. Whether it’s downloading pirated music and movies, or even inappropriate and illegal photos of minors, the computer’s owner is the one who will answer to authorities. Monitoring software like PC Pandora gives owners a full visual and documented recording of everything that happens on the machine. They’ll be able to fix problems quickly, and hold anyone using the computer in an inappropriate manner accountable for their activity.

PC Pandora is parental control software that monitors and records all user activity. PC Pandora acts as a DVR for your PC by taking sequential snapshots of all activity on screen. The snapshots then allow the machine’s administrators to see everything that happened on the computer, telling you who did what and when. Further details of user activity, such as instant messenger chats, emails sent and received, websites visited, keystrokes logged, peer-2-peer files shared and downloaded, programs accessed and more, can be seen in text-based files.

Security to your home PC is essential in today’s networked and connected world. Having the ability to know everything that happens on your machine can play a vital role in fixing system errors and putting a stop to illegal activity. Monitoring software like PC Pandora 5.0 and free data recovery programs like Pandora Recovery are imperative security measures. A free 2-hour trial of PC Pandora is available at www.pcpandora.com.
