Hi,
I am looking for a safe software that tracks websites visited on my computer. And is invisible to users.
Any recommendations?

Don't you mean like a "family keylogger"?
A keylogger is defined as:
A malicious program that records keystrokes. Often, a keylogger also keeps track of visited web sites, and time-stamps when you visit, as well as what keys you type. More advanced keyloggers can limit their recordings to certain prompts / fields (like the user-name and password boxes) and for only 'secure' web sites (like you bank or EBay etc.) Since the keylogger records information as you type it, as opposed to intercepting it when you submit information on a web page, the information is unencrypted even from secure web sites. Keyloggers are one of the most dangerous forms of malware (due to identity theft), and therefore it is recommended that if you find one, immediately unplug your ethernet / modem cable, back up your important files, and reformat.
Generally you can actually check the user's surfing history (websites visited) by going to the HISTORY of the web browser. Just a simple shortcut of "CTRL+H".
Or do you mean you want to keep track of what user's type? Like on IM or e-mail for example?
Is this a personal/family computer or a workstation/work computer?
