Real time Internet and email alerts - WebSpy Live WebSpy Live Status Alert Window. Click to enlarge!

WebSpy Live is the ultimate tool for real-time, Internet and email monitoring. Live works in the background and displays alerts in an unobtrusive dialog as Internet or email misuse occurs. You can then act on these alerts immediately by emailing the offending users the details of the alert.

Live monitors your Internet and network traffic by monitoring log files produced by a logging device, such as an Internet Gateway, Email or Proxy Server.

Using this tool, managers can monitor how much time users are spending on the web and where they are going – facilitating immediate attention to problem areas and promoting a proactive response to help eliminate Internet misuse in the workplace or school.
