Download/HomepageCyberSieve is a piece of Internet monitoring equipment and
parental control software.
When first started, you are greeted by a getting started screen which walks you
through some of the basic steps of setting up the program. You start by setting
up user names and user groups. Once that is done, you can set up things like
what times and for how long the Internet can be accessed, or what websites can
be viewed and which can't.
While running, the program keeps a log of what warnings were created which you
can view so you know if anyone has been naughty and you can view those files
locally on the pc they were generated on or remotely from a networked machine
which has been dubbed the admin system. If this weren't enough you can block
chats, emails and even peer to peer connections which pretty much allows you
total control as what it viewable and not.
In all the program does okay, and I couldn't find a way around safe guards on
peer to peer I set up and believe me I tried. However if you block a word like
porn and not pron(a common slang alternative, or so I'm told) then the program
is only as good as it was set up there is no 'smart logging' to log similar
words to banned ones which would display in a report so you'd know if someone
tried to beat the system.
