I don't think that "websites visited" and "software installed" would ever be grouped into a single "type" of information to record. Squid is an HTTP proxy, so you can monitor web traffic using that, certainly. Not sure why you're saying you don't know how to install it though, as there are thousands and thousands of pages online about how to run it.
