Exhausting Information on How They Spend Hours

What Your Employees Do on Their Computers at Work? LanAgent Provides Exhausting Information on How They Spend These Working Hours!

LanAgent will help you to manage your employees' working time. This agentwill secretly post you up on any activities your employees do on theircomputers.

NetworkProfi today announces the release of LanAgent. This new software toolis able to track all files or programs opened at a certain computer duringwork time. In addition to this, LanAgent is able to gather information aboutactivities of a particular user by making screenshots, recording allkeystrokes and clipboard content of his/her computer. The opportunities ofLanAgent go well beyond this: the program is also able to track all Internetor local network connections and all websites visited. The presence of LanAgent in the PC memory is wholly latent, i.e. your employees will not beaware that you are watching their actions attentively.
LanAgent consists of two parts: the client part (agent) and theadministrator part. Once you have installed the client part on an employee'scomputer, your employee gets into the focus of your attention. Having donethis, you just need to install the administrator part and thismonitor-employee system is ready to operate. All data about the usage of acomputer by a certain user is stored in the encrypted log files on his/hercomputer and can be send to the administrator's machine immediately on thefirst request.

The work of the client part and the administrator part are structurallyindependent, so when you switch your computer off, the client part stillkeeps on monitoring and recording all events. You will receive thisinformation as soon as you switch your computer on next time. Generallyspeaking, a significant part of the program is data exchange. Data exchangeis carried out via the TCP/IP protocol, thus the only information you needto know is your user's IP address.

LanAgent creates an exhaustive report within seconds. All you need is justto choose a user from your list and mark those logs, which you areinterested in: Keystrokes, Applications, Clipboard, Screenshots, Files anddirectories, Computer, Internet connections or Websites visited. Mark someor all of these logs, set a time period you need to know about and you willget a detailed report on his/her actions during working hours.

LanAgent Features at a Glance:
- Records startup/shutdown, websites visited, the local net connections established;
- Logs all keystrokes (case sensitive) and clipboard contents;
- Makes screenshots within the specified time interval;
- Generates the report in the html format;
- Sends text messages to users' computers.
- Absolutely invisible to users.

Pricing and Availability
LanAgent runs under Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. A 3-user license costs $75 (USD),a 10-user license costs $175 (USD), a 25-user license costs $375 (USD), a50-user license costs $575 (USD), a 100-user license costs $875 (USD).

MegaMeeting's conferencing system is "video centric," explained Richmond. Upto 13 video windows can be viewed simultaneously on any conference. With thenew enhanced features, the host now has improved control on the placement ofthe video windows.

The host now controls the exact window position that each meetingparticipant appears in (or whether their video window should appear at all).For meetings in which the host is going to be the only video image present,he/she can have his/her image placed in the same area for all participants.

Organizations which are already using telephone conference calling will feelright at home with MegaMeeting's new teleconference feature which allows upto 100 people to participate in a conference call. The teleconference isintegrated with the web conference and participants who are away from theircomputers or do not have the right kind of equipment can participate in theaudio portion of the web conference through a telephone connection.

How are companies using this new technology? "The sky's the limit," saidRichmond who pointed out that many firms are now hold meetings routinelyover the Internet, saving thousands of dollars in transportation costs onevery online meeting, and educational institutions are using it to promote"learning at a distance."

Even individuals are jumping on the online conferencing bandwagon. "Onefamily in the Midwest was able to 'attend' two graduation ceremonies takingplace simultaneously in two different cities thanks to video conferencing,"Richmond said.

Privacy Worries Goodbye with Folder Lock!

Kiss Your Privacy Worries Goodbye with Folder Lock!

A slim security tool lets you password-protect files, folders, drives andremovable disks in seconds and protect sensitive information in Safe Modeand even in real DOS Mode
NewSoftwares.net, Inc. today announces the release of version 5.3.9 ofFolder Lock, a fully-fledged security tool for the Windows OS. Folder Lockgives you a pain-free ability to lock, hide, encrypt and password-protectfiles, folders and drives on your PC. Also, you can protect files on USBflash drives, memory sticks, CD-RW, floppies, and notebooks. Unique toFolder Lock is its ability to protect files in Safe Mode and DOS Mode. Yourfiles remain protected if you boot your PC with a floppy or CD, and evenwhen you switch from one Windows platform to another, so that filesprotected in Windows XP remain protected in Windows 98.

"You can work with Folder Lock in much the same way as you would with a safein the physical world," says Steve Frank, manager at NewSoftwares.net. "Justlike it is with a real safe, you have a special folder, named Locker, whereyou can keep any number of private files and folders. This may be yourpasswords, credit card numbers, software source code, images and anythingelse that needs to be protected. Once the Locker is locked up, all filesinside become inaccessible for unauthorized users, be they your spouse,co-workers, cyber-hackers or computer viruses. You can simply lock thefolder, scramble its content, or encrypt it using 256-bit Blowfishencryption, which is the strongest today. Plus, there are five methods oflocking, known as patent pending, two of which are unknown even to the mostadvanced hackers."

"As for the files and folders that are located outside the Locker folder,you can lock them too," continues Mr. Frank. "Simply right-click the fileyou want to protect, select the "Lock Folder" item from its context menu,enter a password, and voila! Your file is locked. Now, it cannot be deleted,renamed, accessed, and even seen, that's, of course, if the Stealth Mode ison. However if you want this file to be protected in real DOS Mode or SafeMode, you had better drag it to the Locker folder. In addition to providingthe strongest level of protection, the Locker eliminates the hassle ofhaving to lock up or encrypt each file separately. Another good thing aboutFolder Lock is that it locks files even on portable devices. Copy theprogram folder of Folder Lock to the device and secure your files in theLocker it creates. Simple."

What tricks does Folder Lock let you play on hackers?
1. Expose the hacker before he exposes you
Folder Lock has a Hacker Attempt Monitoring feature that records a log ofall invalid passwords used with respect to their time and date. You canlearn who tried to access your personal files in your absence by providingdifferent passwords. You can also set the program to lock or shutdown yourPC if more than three invalid passwords have been entered.

2. Use stealth, become invisible
Folder Lock has a Stealth Mode to hide Folder Lock from the eyes of curiouspeople. Once this mode is on, all links, shortcuts and traces of Folder Lockin Control Panel and the context menu of Windows Explorer disappearcompletely. This can help you make your private information totallyprotected from intruders as they are simply not aware of its existence. Todisable the Stealth Mode, you should press the combination of CTRL+ALT+F.

3. Auto-Locking operations
Folder Lock lets you lock your files, and even your PC after a certainperiod of time. You can choose whether to autolock, lock PC, log off, rebootor shutdown your computer after a certain time of mouse or keyboardinactivity or total time. All this is done automatically. And this is notall. Good luck!
