FREE PC Monitoring Software that has been in use for nearly 15 years! ICU PC Monitoring software was born for the sole purpose of keeping my own daughter safe whilst she started to experiment with the world of online communication. To that end it was extremely successful and after many years and several hundreds of thousands of downloads later we would like to hope it perhaps helped out some others as well? Whilst maybe not so relevant in a world where every child has an internet enabled mobile phone we believe that ICU still has a strong role to play in PC monitoring, especially with how so many people are now turning to laptops in light of current circumstances.
ICU PC Monitoring is a non obtrusive, low resource, secure way of monitoring any number of users on a Microsoft Windows enabled PC, be that a desktop, laptop or anything in between. The software works by capturing screen shots on a regular basis and then e-mailing them to a specified e-mail account after a specified number of captures. Sounds simple? At its core it really is! What ICU isn’t is a way of capturing key strokes, infringing on security or anything else nasty. ICU was designed to enable a parent or responsible adult to monitor the computer activity of another person with their permission, WITHOUT exposing passwords or other sensitive information. So at it’s heart ICU is a very simple PC monitoring program, but delve a little deeper and it has some advanced features. Of all the software we have ever released we recommend reading the readme for ICU more than any other.
Whilst the intended usage for ICU was seen as primarily parental/child as is the way of the world other uses have been found. It is now a popular program in the “accountability software” market. If you are not happy with your own harmful computer usage (be it Porn, addiction, violence, trolling, time spent or anything else) then ICU can provide a non obtrusive way for you to be monitored for accountability purposes. In the same way if a friend or family member has reported similar thoughts/issues then ICU can help, with their full permission of course.
