We use to use a product called Spector from SpectorSoft. It was basically a spyware program that would record windows screen shots, email, file usage and other stuff. It worked very well and required minimal bandwidth. The problem was that it was licensed by computer, so every time I upgraded a computer with new hardware I had to use up another license, plus I only had to use it once in 4 years to check on an employee's activities so we finally uninstalled it. I haven't used it in a couple of years now so maybe they have another licensing scheme.

I know this is not a Vantage related question but since there are so many strong technical people on this group someone might have a solution for me and I appologize if anyone is upset with this type of question posted here.Â
Â
We have recently had to fire a manager in China because he was running a competing business under our nose using company resources and data from our servers.  We have a fairly loose computing environment with departmental shared folders on a US server and two DFS replicated servers between US and China with artwork and related information needed to produce product.  We want to do a better job of locking down data and monitoring who is using what information.  There is also concern about e-mail access and a possible desire to start monitoring attachments and general usage to make sure correspondence is truly work related.  Is anyone using any particular product to monitor usage and assist with the security the company digital assets?  I need to somehow do more that just setting folder/file access and need to actually create a log of file access everytime a users opens, copies or changes a file.Â
