Norton Power Eraser Question

$

I scanned my PC with NIS 2013 and it found a virus and a Trojan but that wasn't a problem as they were removed. However for peace of mind it also recommended I run Norton Power Eraser.

 

I ran this and it showed me a few items which it recommended I remove however one of these is a purchased piece of software which I currently have installed to keep an eye on my young child's internet activities. It's called "Gigawatch" and it shows keystrokes, websites visited, online chat etc. It has already proved useful and given me some peace of mind knowing what my 8 year old is up to on the internet so I am reluctant to just remove it because power eraser says it's a good idea without a reason.

 

Obviously it's probably due to the nature of the program in that it's a keylogger but apart from that has anyone any idea where I can find out the reason Power Eraser flagged it so that I can make a reasoned judgment if it's worth the risk of continuing to use this software. When you have a virus, Trojan etc detected by Norton you can normally go to a web page which gives you details about the threat but in this case no details are given for this suggested removal and I wondered if such a page exists  where I can find those details. 

 

Thanks
