I need help from a computer savvy person. I would like to install Covenant Eyes on our home computer but do not want it to be detected in a tool bar, pop-up or anywhere that is easy to find. I am not going to install it with any restrictions so that I can see the web sites that are being logged on to without my husband knowing. I just want to know once and for all if he is telling the truth. It has been a six year nightmare for me, and he stays up long after I go to bed playing "Scrabble" online. There is "private browsing" activated through FireFox, IE8, and Chrome Incognito.
If someone here can walk me through how to hide Covenant Eyes I would appreciate it.
Thanks
We have Windows7

I don't use Covenant Eyes or Windows, but I went to the Tech Support part of the Covenant Eyes web site. There was an article on "Is Covenant Eyes spyware?" which included the sentence,
Now, whether you choose to abide by that license agreement is entirely your business. I am without opinions on that. My general view is that you partners are on the side of the angels, that we addicts are certainly not, and that anything you need to do to keep yourself safe is fair. But if Covenant Eyes isn't designed to be used in stealth mode, then it's possible you can't completely hide it, and that you need to look at some competing product.
Be well. I hope you find an answer, and more than that, I hope you find peace.

Interesting that they create a program designed to disclose what is going on in the "private browsing" applications, yet do not allow the owner of the computer to have the same "right" of secrecy that the private browser is using.

Hi Forever,
You might find key logging software more suited to your needs.

I think their model is
(a) Someone struggling with porn who installs the tool himself as a barrier, a way to help keep himself honest, and a way to help demonstrate that he's keeping clean.
(b) A parent openly securing a family machine.
The software guarantees transparency, and the covenant to behave responsibly is also transparent.
I can understand them feeling queasy about the mixed message involved in distributing a hidden tool to produce transparency. While that's completely appropriate in your case, it could also be a tool for the kids to spy on the parents, the employee to spy on the boss, etc. Perhaps they are avoiding legal liability in situations like that.
It would be nice if browsers were distributed with and without private browsing. There isn't a right of privacy in a marriage, and anyone who feels he needs to hide his history has a problem. Using private browsing is an admission of guilt.

Key logging would work if our ports were behind the pc but ours are
on the side.
My 19 yr old son managed to do what they said could not be done.
Stealth to the max.

Having to come between his parents in something this personal sounds like it would be very difficult for your son. Is he doing OK? Is he getting whatevr care and help he needs?

My husband and I have been married for six years. My son is the one who
accidently found the porn a year into the marriage...he found 133 porn sites loaded inside the Covenant Eyes "allowed sites" option, can you beat that! I suspected it but could not prove it. He has a difficult time understanding
why I have stayed in this marriage, not in helping me to find out if my husband is being true
to his word. My son believes I have a right to know and a right to peace of mind
at this point. I am not the type to bury my head in the sand...I need to know
where this relationship is heading, tired of looking over my shoulder and tired
of wondering what my husband is doing when he does not get to bed until
3:00 am. My husband agreed not to get onto the computer when one of us was not home or in bed but has broken that promise over the last year and a half. My son knows how my husband can spin any conversation as well as
the truth until I feel like I have victumized him. He is a masterspinner.
Sorry if you do not agree with my tactics. When they put private browsing on
these new computers, they opened up doors for the devil to celebrate. Im not
going to fall for the politically correct thing anymore. In my mind, the right to privacy ended when the marriage vows began. Now I would like to exercise my right to the TRUTH.
My son is very mature and very moral. My husband does not like him much
but my son keeps clear of him for the most part.

You may perceive disagreement that isn't there. I thoroughly agree, and said above, that there is no right to privacy in a marriage, and that it's appropriate for you to seek out the truth you need by whatever means necessary.
Having been the cause of a lot of hurt within my own family, I'm also saddened by the situation in which you and your son find yourselves, which I think has to be very emotionally difficult. I therefore hope you are both finding whatever support you need to find serenity.
Glad you got your technical question figured out, too.
Peace,
Tim M.
