Big Brother - Version 1.0 BigBrother is spyware, which is software that monitors the usage of a PC by recording the keystrokes of the PC user and emailing the record to an employer or administrator. This is not a simple key logger but an application that can be applied throughout a company network and used as a Windows Service. Using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, BigBrother can connect to most any Mail server on an intra/inter net. The administrator can set several options that pertain to the service such as file size limitation, email addresses, SMTP servers, log file name and more. BigBrother is designed to be covert and works as a Windows Service so it is not seen within the Window Task Manager. BigBrother is also shareware that permits a limited amount of use before purchase is required. In today’s office world, companies need to be weary of what information may be transmitted over the intra/internet. BigBrother can be used to verify the office email policies are being abided by and that slanderous material is not used.
