5.0 out of 5 stars SpectorSoft eBlaster is Fantastic!, September 23, 2008

This review is from: Eblaster 6 (CD-ROM)

This software literally only took 2 minutes to install, and it was completely undetectable. On the report side, very easy to customize to your preference of settings and delivery. Fantastic product, worth every cent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for hidden costs!, June 27, 2011

By 

Spector - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eblaster 6 (CD-ROM)

The software works. But, what they don't tell you is that if you don't pay an additional $69.95 (in my case) per year, they will stop sending you the reports showing you any of the activity you purchased the software for.

Again, the product actually works, but I don't appreciate the "bait and switch" tactic or rather the "hidden fees" required to pay an extra $69.95 per year to continue to receive the Activity Reports for the computer you install eBlaster on.

Furthermore, they continue to send you a notice to renew the hidden annual fee instead of the usual Activity Reports until you either pay the hidden annual fee or uninstall the eBlaster software.

Here's an example of one of the notices from Spectorsoft:

5.0 out of 5 stars Monitor Your Children From Anywhere, October 22, 2008

By 

Concerned Parent (South Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eblaster 6 (CD-ROM)

My wife and I have been very happy with this software. We installed it on the recommendation of some of her co workers when we became concerned about our teenage daughter's computer activity. I was surprised at how easy this software was to install and use.

When you install the program you tell it what email address you would like to receive your activity reports at; I used a free Yahoo address for this, and that's all there was to it. As soon as my daughter used her computer I started getting reports and a lot more.

You can choose to get the reports as often as you like, I chose every hour. You can also choose to get copies of all emails and chats, which I did. So, long story short, I see all her emails, chats, all the websites she visits, basically everything that happens on her computer.

You can see this activity anywhere you can access your email. It doesn't matter if I travel, am at work or what have you. If I can get to a computer or even my cell phone and check my email I can see what is happening on her computer.

I would highly recommend this program to any parent or employer who needs to know EXACTLY what their children or employees are doing on the computer.
