5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Internet Monitoring product, September 27, 2004

Did you see the one hour segment Dateline NBC recently did on Internet pedophiles?

Basically, Dateline rented a house in a SMALL town and had one of their people pose as a 14 year old girl in a chat room. The girl didn't voluntarily chat with anybody, but did respond to the massive number of people who sent her private messages.

Over the course of just two days, 18 men came to visit the house to try to have sex with the 14 year old girl, all documented on camera by Dateline on their September 24, 2004 episode. I highly recommend viewing the segment.

At the end of the hour, Dateline recommended several products, but none more highly than Spector Pro, which they said recorded everything your child does on the Internet. This includes all their chat conversations, instant messages, emails, keystrokes types, web sites visited, files downloaded, etc. Spector Pro gives you an EXACT visual representation of everything your child (or spouse or employee) does on the Internet, and shows you the entire conversation they have with adult strangers.

Often, your kids don't know when an adult is up to no good, but you have the radar to know these kinds of things.

I can tell you -- Spectorsoft, the makers of Spector Pro, have been in business for about six years, and they have received TWO Editors Choice awards from PC Magazine, the most reputable computer publication on the planet. And as a user of this product, it is easy to use while at the same time extremely powerful in letting you know every single thing your kids are doing on the Internet. My highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works wonderfully, May 5, 2005

I've been using this software (and previous versions) for years. It works beautifully and, in spite of a previous reviewer's comments, can be adjusted to capture snapshots closer together. I've had to contact customer support a couple of times, at no fault of the manufacturer, and received an extremely quick response on both occasions.

This review is from: Spector Professional Edition 5.0 ( Windows ) (CD-ROM)

I'm thrilled to find a program that does everything it claimed it would do. Be carefull to install it on the computer you want to use it on though !! Once installed, it will not work on another unit !! I tried it on my computer and then wanted to move it to the computer I wanted to monitor !! Can't be done !!
