Is there a app that can monitor a 2nd PC for internet history? I would like to keep track of what has been viewed on my kids PC.

you'll need to make the index.dat of the 2nd PC accessible over the network (ie you'll need admin rights to that file)
umm, this may be a bit techie though....

do you have a spare PC about?
If you do try putting a distro of linux on with Squid Proxy and you should be able to monitor the sites they have visited in the proxy logs.
Obviously you'll need to set the Proxy PC with a static IP, and configure their PC to use the proxy.
If you want to prevent them disabling the proxy settings you could block ports 80 and 443 on your router for all IP addresses other than the Proxy servers address.
tbh though the best way would be to supervise them while they are younger so that they have a rough idea of how to be safer surfing the net on their own.
A bit of common sense goes a lot further later on in life
