Surf Spy Personal, from SureShot Software, is a fair product. The product is lacking in features compared to the other spyware/monitoring products in the marketplace. Basically, this product records your web surfing activity and that is it. There is not a lot more to say about the product. There are just not enough features in this product.

Online Monitoring:

There are just not enough features in this product

PC Monitoring & Admin:

The surprise during the installation occurred when the application required you to go to the "C:\Program Files" to actually start the program. This was not a very user-friendly way to begin the application.

Filtering & Blocking:

SurfSpy is easy to install

Reporting:

Basically, this product records your web surfing activity and that is it.

Summary:

Overall, SurfSpy Personal is lacking a number of features. The product needs a lot of work to be able to compete against the other spyware/monitoring software in the marketplace.
