IMPORTANT USAGE INFORMATION: This software is NOT intended for illegal use. WinGuardian should only be used by companies, schools, organizations, and parents who have a LEGITIMATE RIGHT to monitor what the computer user is doing. Before using this software, be sure you have a legal right to monitor the user’s activities of the system(s) that WinGuardian is installed on.

WinGuardian is a useful Windows monitoring utility and filtering alternative for parents, schools, and other organizations. This helpful tool runs completely hidden and monitors almost everything a user does on your computer. WinGuardian can keep track of what programs a user runs, log any text that is typed into a program, log all web sites that are visited, and even capture screenshots at various specified intervals. You can review the logs and detect if a user is running inappropriate programs such as games or visiting web sites that your organization considers offensive. There is also an option to have WinGuardian display an acceptable use policy (AUP) on the computer screen. A user must read the AUP and then click on the "AGREE" button before he or she is allowed to access the Internet. If users know that their actions are being monitored, they will be deterred from using inappropriate programs or viewing inappropriate web pages. WinGuardian also gives you the option to "lock down" the Windows 95/98 environment so that users can only run programs that you authorize. Users will not be able to modify system settings (like the Windows background wallpaper) or run unauthorized software. This is useful in helping to prevent viruses and intentional or unintentional operating system changes. An additional feature of WinGuardian allows the system administrator to email out the log files to a specific email address.

1. Anyone who is concerned with the activities of their computer users. This includes where the users are going on the web and what programs they are running.

2. Anyone who needs to limit a user's access to Windows 95/98. Administrators can create a list of programs a user is allowed to run. With this feature enabled, nothing else can be accessed or run and no operating system changes can be made.

3. Organizations who have an acceptable use policy for the users of their systems. WinGuardian can display the acceptable use policy when the system is booted, when a browser is opened, and/or when a screensaver stops. A user must read and click on the AGREE button before they are allowed access to the system.

WinGuardian is a shareware program. You have 15 days to try WinGuardian. If you wish to continue using WinGuardian after 15 days, you must purchase a registered copy for $39.95 (inquire about site license discounts). See the REGISTER section of this document for more information.

To install WinGuardian, run the Setup.exe program. During setup, you will be asked to enter a password to access WinGuardian. DO NOT forget your password, otherwise you will have to re-install WinGuardian. After installation is complete, WinGuardian will log the computer user's activity every time Windows is started.

WinGuardian starts automatically every time Windows is loaded. To verify if WinGuardian is running on your system, simply press the WinGuardian "show-key" (control-alt-shift-y). If the WinGuardian password screen appears, then the program is running on your system.

Walkthrough of implementing mirror logs on a LAN:

1. Create a shared drive on 1 system on your LAN (usually the server).

2. Follow the directions below for each system you intend to run WinGuardian on:

a. Install WinGuardian.

b. Under WinGuardian settings, check the Mirror Log File option.

c. Assign a unique name for the mirror log and select the shared drive from step 1 as the mirror log path.

Note: As an alternative to mirroring the log files to one shared system, you can share (and password protect) the "Windows\System\wglogs" directory on each PC that is running WinGuardian and turn off the Mirror Log option. To view the mirrored logs, use the wgview.exe utility from a remote system, access the shared Windows\System\wglogs directory and select the system.lg or the keylogs.wg files.
