Instruction

Proper management of a business enterprise involves control over all its components. If you lose sight of this control lever, the system quickly falls apart, left to itself. Competent control begins with planning, setting tasks and assigning responsibilities.

Instruction

Identify the tasks that need the most management oversight. In any company there are main divisions that perform the main production functions, as well as auxiliary departments, whose activities are not decisive and do not directly affect the final result. By compiling a hierarchy of functions, you can prioritize areas that require special attention.

For each structural unit or stage of work, if we are talking about an unfolding business project, appoint people who will carry out leadership. Clearly define the range of functional responsibilities of middle managers and the limits of their powers. To control his area of ​​work, each manager must have a real opportunity to influence the state of affairs and intervene in the production process.

Develop and implement a system of standardized reports from the heads of structural divisions. You must systematically obtain information that characterizes the performance of the company in all areas. This is one of the important conditions when setting up a control system. The data is brought together, systematized and correlated with the planned indicators.

Put into practice visits by the management of the enterprise to individual production sites. This will allow to assess on the spot how efficiently the work is going, and will also create appropriate motivation among the staff. Knowing about the possibility of unannounced inspections, employees will be more responsible in the performance of their duties. Visiting grassroots departments also provides an opportunity to get the feedback needed to make management decisions.

At this time, it is time for the leader to think about the need to change something. There is no need to make hasty decisions about downsizing, installing video cameras in the office. It is enough just to purchase a special software package. Control of staff computers will allow you to gently "stimulate" subordinates and direct their work in the right direction.

There are a number of programs that allow you to discreetly track what an employee is doing at the workplace. All of them offer a fairly wide range of functions:

Tracking queries in search engines. The function will help determine what employees are looking for more often during working hours: new customers, or popular videos.

Taking screenshots periodically.

Checking the start and end times of work on the computer, time intervals of user inactivity, simple.

Control of employees' computers here for the work of the mouse and their keyboards (it will allow you to track which keys were pressed and how often).

Printer tracking (document names, printed text volume, etc.)

Control over the operation of removable media (which files were copied from a computer to a USB drive and vice versa).

Control of correspondence in skype and icq.

When using the program, the manager receives a daily report on the work and inactivity of each user at his computer, as well as diagrams of working hours.

Most spyware vendors offer 15-30 business days of free testing of their product. Usually this time is enough to determine whether there is a need to purchase such a software package at the enterprise. The control of computers of working personnel is a fairly budgetary process. The cost of a license for one computer, depending on the functions performed, starts from 450 rubles, but the expenditure of these funds is justified. Losses of working time are reduced by 20-40%. And the employees themselves, who are aware of the established program control, stop doing personal business from 9-00 to 18-00.

It is logical that such self-organization of employees is in the interests of management. Someone prefers not to inform about the installation of such programs, while others, on the contrary, carry out the implementation indicatively. The main thing is that in the end there should be a result, and the effectiveness of personnel indicators will increase exponentially.

How can you find out what your child or employee is doing on the computer? What sites does he visit, with whom does he communicate, what and to whom does he write?

To do this, there are spyware - a special kind of software that collects information about all its actions unnoticed by the user. A spy program for a computer will solve this problem.

Spyware for a computer should not be confused with a Trojan: the first is absolutely legitimate and is installed with the knowledge of the administrator, the second gets on the PC illegally and carries out hidden malicious activities.

Although malicious programs can also be used by legitimate tracking programs.

Spy applications are most often installed by business leaders and system administrators to control employees, parents to spy on children, jealous spouses, etc. At the same time, the “victim” may know that she is being monitored, but most often she does not.

Overview and comparison of five popular spyware

NeoSpy

NeoSpy is a universal keyboard, screen and user actions spyware. NeoSpy works invisibly and can hide its presence during installation.

The user who installs the program has the opportunity to choose one of two installation modes - administrator and hidden. In the first mode, the program is installed openly - it creates a shortcut on the desktop and a folder in the Program Files directory, in the second it is hidden.

Program processes do not appear in Windows Task Manager and third-party task managers.

The functionality of NeoSpy is quite wide and the program can be used both as home tracking and in offices to control employees.

The spy program is distributed in three versions under a shareware license. The price is 820-1990 rubles, but it can also work for free (even in hidden mode) with restrictions when viewing reports.

What can NeoSpy do:

• monitor the keyboard;
• monitor site visits;
• show the user's screen in real time via the Internet from another computer or from a tablet;
• take screenshots of the screen and save pictures from the webcam;
• control system events (turning on, turning off, downtime in the computer, connecting removable media);
• intercept the contents of the clipboard;
• Monitor the use of Internet messengers, record Skype calls;
• intercept data sent for printing and copied to external media;
• keep statistics of work at the computer;
• send laptop coordinates (calculated over Wi-Fi).

Thanks to the Russian-language interface, a wide range of functions, correct keyboard interception and a mode of operation completely hidden in the system, NeoSpy gets the maximum rating when choosing user control software.

Real Spy Monitor

The next spy is Real Spy Monitor. This English-language program not only has tracking functions, but can also block certain actions on the computer. Therefore, it is often used as a means of parental control.

For each account in the settings of Real Spy Monitor, you can create your own policy of prohibitions, for example, to visit certain sites.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of an English-language interface, it is more difficult to figure out how Real Spy Monitor works, despite the graphic thumbnails for the buttons.

The program is also paid. The license costs from $39.95.

Features of Real Spy Monitor:

• interception of keystrokes, clipboard contents, system events, websites, instant messengers, mail;
• work in semi-hidden mode (without an active window, but with the display of the process in the task manager);
• work with multiple accounts;
• selective autostart for different accounts.

In general, many users like Real Spy Monitor, among the shortcomings they note the high cost, the lack of a Russian-language interface and the display of the process in the task manager.

Actual Spy

Developers position Actual Spy as a keylogger (keylogger), although the program can do more than just record keystrokes.

It controls the contents of the clipboard, takes screenshots, monitors website visits, and other things that are included in the main set of spies we have reviewed.

When installed, Actual Spy creates a shortcut in the Start menu, so it can be seen by the user. The launch also occurs openly - to hide the program window, you must press certain keys.

Opportunities Actual Spy is not much different from the capabilities of competitors. Among the shortcomings, users noted that it correctly records keystrokes only in the English layout.

Spy Go

SpyGo is a spy kit for home use. It can also be used in offices to control employees.

To start monitoring, just click the "Start" button in SpyGo.

SpyGo is distributed under a shareware license and costs 990-2990 rubles, depending on the set of functions.

In trial versions, the duration of monitoring is limited to 20 minutes per day, and sending reports to e-mail and via FTP is not available.

• recording of all actions on the computer (launching programs, operations with files, etc.);
• control of visits to web resources (history, search queries, frequently visited sites, duration of stay on the site);
• recording what is happening on the screen;
• saving the contents of the clipboard;
• listening to the environment (if you have a microphone);
• monitoring of system events (time to turn on and off the computer, downtime, connecting flash drives, disks, etc.).

Important! The disadvantages of SpyGo, according to users, include the fact that it does not support all versions of Windows, often throws errors when sending reports, and is quite easily unmasked.

snitch

Snitch - the name of this program is translated as "snitch", and it is very unfriendly towards the user. Snitch spies on computer activity. It works hidden, does not require complex settings and has little effect on system performance.

The program is released in a single version.

Snitch Features and Features:

• monitoring of the keyboard, clipboard, system events, web surfing and communication in instant messengers;
• compilation of summary reports and schedules of controlled events;
• undemanding to the network configuration;
• protection against unauthorized termination of the program process;
• monitoring is carried out even in the absence of access to the network.

Of the shortcomings, you can notice conflicts with antiviruses

How to detect a spy on a computer?

Finding spyware on a computer that does not show itself in any way is difficult, but possible.

So, despite the legitimacy, the applications we have considered can recognize special antiviruses,"sharpened" for the search for spyware (trojans with espionage function), so we recommend adding the installed program to the exclusion list of such antiviruses.

And if you don't need to remove the spy, but only need to disguise your actions from it, you can use anti-spyware tools that, despite actively spying on you, will prevent interception of keyboard events and screenshots.

Then your correspondence and passwords will not fall into the wrong hands.
