I need a good freeware to take a note of the time spent on online and different applications in my PC. I was also wondering how these kinds of software collect data about the websites visited?

Thanks!

Take apart your mouse. Two screws are probably hidden under rubber glide pads. Cut a small piece of black tape and wrap it around the sensor next to the mouse wheel. Re-assemble mouse, no more wheel function.

RescueTime, SlimTimer, ManicTime, and Klok all have free versions for Windows. Other's can be found here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_time_tracking_softwareI don't know exactly how it works. Obviously, it monitors your computer activity and then generates a report showing what you did while using the computer. I don't know any additional technical details. Perhaps look for more information on one of the product's help or FAQ pages.

Thanks. Manic Time seems good. It has most of the things I wanted.

Something like this should fit the bill.Internet tracking is generally done by creating a loadable module that is injected in the TCP/IP stack to monitor all communications occurring through the network.

Thanks for your reply. The software you mentioned (WORKTIME) needs a license and not an free software. Do we have any free software in this category?
