sskey300.jpg This aptly named product is designed to spy on whatever computer it is attached to. Just plug the snoop stick into any USB port and it will begin to record IM conversations (in real time), or sites visited with no signs (except for a blue fob hanging off of your computer) that your surfing habits are being watched.

In addition to logging IM conversations and websites it also checks the sender and recipient of every email sent or received. You can even log the user off, disable internet access, set time restrictions or even turn the computer off.

Available for $59.95

    It is software installed on the computer to be snooped. Then you take the snoop stick with you on your vacation in the bahamas and use the Hotels Internet acces with your snoop stick to monitor the activity at home.

    What do you mean by a “blue fob” hanging over my computer? My daughter is very bright. Will she be able to find out? Thanks.
