How to automaticly delete certain software from a computer that i dont have acces to..

Hi!

Little backstory first :)

I have a 8 year old brother, he has his own LapTop that used to be my. He has somehow managed to make his own disord account, facebook account, gmail account and a youtube account. He talks to randoms that sound 18+. He talks to them untill my dad gets back from work, whenever i try to see what is he doing on his screen he just turns the laptop so i can't see what he is doing. I think that a 8 year old shouldnt have social media and discords to talk to people, i do use those so banning them from my network isn't an option, and sneaking into his house is also not possible.

The question here is

Is there any type of software that i can look into his pc without him knowing and without me installing a client on his laptop. Anything would help here..

Thanks in advance,

Leaksy

You could install RealVNC server (shareware, free version with some limitations available - TightVNC which is free would also work) and remove the uninstall from registry. You can also kill the icon in system tray as well.

So then you can simply connect and watch what he does on the computer.

Of course there's other softwares more in the gray area, for logging key presses, taking screenshots etc but I don't recommend them.

Is RealVNC Client sided tho? I can't acces his laptop at all, so i think they gray area would help a bit since it is in my own house.. he can't really sue me for that.

I second mariushm. What you're looking for is some type of parental control. Although Windows does have some of that functionality pre-installed the desire to view what he's doing and make changes over a network would require 3rd party software (Although RDP is technically an option - included with Windows.)

You'd be best to install something and just hide what you installed.

Yeah, but i cant touch his computer at all, cant even at night since it is in his room and he is a light-sound sleeper..

You know, the Proper Solution^(TM) to this would be...to talk with your dad. You can discuss what he thinks about the situation and decide if and how to address things.

Sorry but we can't help with getting into someone else computer, regardless of the reason.

I suggest talking to your parents and making them understand the issues with unsupervised computer use for a kid that age. If your parents don't care, then there isn't much more to do.
