Web Padlock is a program that provides access control and usage management over your computer's Web browser. This gives you control over what Web pages can be viewed on your computer. Once installed, Web Padlock blocks other Web browsers (like Internet Explorer, Netscape, or America Online) from running. This leaves Web Padlock as the only available Web browser. In order to view any Web page on Web Padlock when Web Padlock is in the locked mode, that Web page must have been added to the authorized Web page list. A user selected password is required to add Web pages to this list. This provides the person who installs Web Padlock with the ability to completely control access to the Internet on that computer. This program is most useful in a business setting, where the supervisor needs the ability to control what Web sites employees can visit. It can also be useful in a family setting, however, to give parents control of the computer to block children from viewing certain sites.

Codename Alvin allows parents to see what their children were doing on the PC while they were not present. With Codename Alvin this is now a reality. A parent can install Alvin on their PC, then put the software into 'hidden' mode, whereby any other user (the children in this case) cannot see the software (including by use of the control-alt-delete keys). In registered mode, the software is also re-start protected, so should the computer be restarted, Alvin will also re-start, silently, so the user is not aware they are being monitored. Its not about spying on the kids, just making sure you know what they are up to!

This allows the parent to start the software, shut down their pc, then go to work. Should the children start the PC up while the parent is away, Alvin will log their activity, the websites they access, and their conversation in the chat rooms.
