HOW CAN I MONITOR MY KIDS CHAT ROOM? CAN I SEE WHAT THEY SENDING AND RECEIVING?

What type of chat are they using? Are they using a chat client such as MIRC? If so, there are tools to turn on logging so that each conversation is recorded to a text file by either the persons alias or under the chat room name.

As mentioned already, to provide complete help we would need to know what chat programs they are using. IRC, MIRC and PIRC chats can all be logged to a text file. IRC is the most popular chat program/method. It stands for Internet Relay Chat.

mIRC and pIRC are all alterations of IRC (that's why they have the "IRC" in their name).

There's a one stop solution to montior everything your kids are doing, not just in chat rooms but ANYTHING on the computer - both online and offline (connected to the Internet or not).

You could install monitoring software on your system.

The best solution I've found is a product called Spector 2.2 from Spectorsoft. Currently it is a wee bit pricey at $69.95, but for what its worth it works GREAT! Youfully customize it and oh yeah it hides itself so the user on the computer has no clue the software is installed or monitoring them.

You'll find the product at http://www.spectorsoft.com

Hope this helps.

Take care.
