IRC Logger is a parental control, and employee monitoring utility that intercepts all messages sent through a popular internet paging program IRC and saves their copies to a file on the local hard drive. It is absolutely transparent for most users. Because the conversations are stored on the local hard drive, it does not generate any suspicious network activity, so it cannot be detected and blocked by personal firewalls and intrusion detection software. The file containing logs of all messages can later be viewed locally, sent via e-mail to any specified address, printed or saved to a disk. It boasts clear and intuitive interface providing easy access to all features of the software. The program is also very easy to install. IRC Logger recognizes all kinds of icq-compatible chat clients (such as Miranda, Trillian etc.) and is capable of capturing messages sent trough any of them (including the ability to log encrypted Trillian sessions).
