Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 22, 2005

IMbrella Software, a leading provider of instant message management software, has released ChatChecker, a home version of its enterprise IM/Chat management software. ChatChecker enables concerned parents to block, control and archive all instant messaging coming and going from the home, including all AOL, MSN, Yahoo and ICQ chat traffic. Most importantly, ChatChecker installs on the parent’s PC, not the kids’, so parents can avoid sneaky installations or potential detection and removal by their PC-savvy kids.

“Most IM monitoring software for the home requires the parent to install a secret program on their kids’ PC while they’re not around,” said Marty Schultz, President of IMbrella. “ChatChecker installs privately on the parents’ PC and monitors IM use in the home via their home network.”

ChatChecker Features:

• Alerts parents to custom/blacklisted keywords
• Checks up to 3 PCs (including the PC it's installed on)
• Discover inappropriate or sexual content
• Search messages by keyword and date
• See live messages as they occur in real time
• Blocks harmful viruses hidden in IM file transfers
• Set up special time windows for permitted IM use
• Export conversations to email, Word or Excel
• Saves conversations for 30 days

ChatChecker employ the firm’s patent pending MessageStorm Technology, which eliminates the need for complex settings and individual installations on every PC in the house. While other IM monitoring solutions require confusing technical configuration, IMbrella can be installed transparently, in minutes, on the parents’ PC. IMbrella’s powerful technology watches all network traffic; filtering and recording all IM sessions including AOL, MSN, Yahoo and ICQ chat.
