The idea only takes 58 seconds to install? I suppose this has to be fast considering that it’s a “sneaky app”. Appears exciting although My partner and i don’t need to monitor my children and my partner. They might need to monitor myself even though.

As of 1-17-09 SnoopStick does not work with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I’ve sent it back.

I can certainly see this tool being very useful within a family unit, say with teenage children, used in conjunction with some discussion about the appropriate use of the Internet.

At work, I can see some problems with security and violation of privacy. Also, this stick must be visible (based on its apparent size) to most users and the label “Snoop” on its side is a bit of a giveaway!

Has any reader used it and does it really work?

Very good point – would be a good way to do some corporate espionage!

I often go to tech meetings/conferences where there’s a sequence of talks by technical people, but often there’s just one guy with a laptop hooked up to the projector, and then other people just plug in their USB key in, and open their powerpoint file.

I always wondered whether the guy with the laptop should really be a little bit paranoid about this. I mean these people dont really know each other, but they are letting a technical expert onto their laptop. What might they be installing in the background, while they are giving their talk!

For this use (or abuse) you would need it to install very quietly (no pop-up error messages!)

I think this product is very useful. This is what I found about it: SnoopStick monitors all the web sites kids go to, their email, chats on IMs (Yahoo, MSN, AIM). It also is able to take screen shots of the pages kids see. SnoopStick is a parental control not a keylogger, so it can not be used to capture passwords. I found www.MyKidsInternetSafety.com has a lot of information about SnoopStick. Also, the have tons of videos showing off the device and how to use it on www.MyKidsInternetSafety.com/videos.html

It is a rather interesting product but it is said nothing about its functionality i.e. what exactly it intercepts??? That is why I prefer ‘traditional’ monitoring products as I can go to keylogger.org or somewhere else and view the testing results for keyloggers. I can choose the one that is best PERSONALLY for me(the most functional or the most stealth or even the cheapest one)

This is a cool product to monitor your pc. For passwording issue. I would combine sitename, letters and numbers to create specific password for each site i visit.

Ahah now that’s good! I agree with the password. It’s too easy to just use one since it’s convenient. I have a dozen regular ones that I use. Sometimes though I tend to forget what I used for a particular site.

Maybe they already are….

One thing I’m quite careful about is passwords. Until about a year ago, I was using the same password for just about everything. It was a good one, but I realised because I’d been using it so long too many people knew what it was.

The funniest instance was when my girlfriend logged into my Tesco’s account and removed all the fatty food and sweets from my favourites as she wanted me to lose weight! I didn’t realise for ages.

It only takes 60 seconds to install? I guess it has to be fast since it’s a “sneaky app”. Sounds interesting although I don’t need to monitor my kids and my wife. They might need to monitor me though.
