Attention! Managers, Network Administrators, Parents, Employers, Windows Users, or anyone who wants to know what is going with their computers when they are not around. Mr. Burns is the perfect windows monitoring, metering, tracking, spying, and security product.

Esm Software proudly announces Release 1.00 of "Mr. Burns", a PC Productivity Monitoring Software Package for Microsoft Windows 3.x.
![]()
"Mr. Burns" runs on any PC that supports MS Windows 3.x, either networked or standalone. The program maintains a daily log of statistics describing the usage of the PC, including which applications have been run, how often, and for how long. Mr. Burns even counts the number of keystrokes entered by the user! Consequently, system idle time will also be recorded.
"Mr. Burns" has been designed to be transparent to Windows, so that it will remain undetected by even the most sophisticated user.
The files containing the log of activities may be retrieved remotely in a networked environment, or they may be accessed directly from a standalone PC being monitored.
"Mr. Burns" is a productivity management tool with numerous advantages and uses:
The files which log statistics describing system usage are encrypted and may only be converted and viewed using the "Mr. Burns Administrator" utility. The administrator may choose to create a DETAILED LOG of daily activities and/or a general SUMMARY. Two sample files are shown below. This is an example of a short session where the user was running the Windows Program Manager (PROGMAN), has the clock (CLOCK) running in the background, used the File Manager (WINFILE) to load a file ("GUIDE.WRI") into Microsoft Write (WRITE), and interrupted the editing session with a brief (20min, 38sec) game of Solitaire (SOL).
