"Above and Beyond"
Not only is the an excellent product, but the customer support that comes with it is above and beyond! I feel so much more secure in monitoring my children's online activities, even when they seem to know more about computers than I do!

"Excellent Computer Monitoring Progam"
If you're a parent who's concerned about what your teenager is doing or viewing on myspace or facebook or youtube or any site, then this is the monitoring program to get. Don't waste your time with less expensive programs. I love the snapshots it takes, the timeline, and the keystrokes the best. After a few days, I checked the amount of time my daughter spent on myspace and found she "wasted" 11 hours doing virtually "nothing!"

"Worth It!!"
For years it has been a struggle to control my two kids computer use.. yes, passwording the logon completely prevented use without my permisssion but once on my ability to monitor their activity was minimal at best...

Several weeks ago I found that my 14 yr old son had begun visiting inappropriate web sites... We had "the talk" but not surprisingly it didn't stick...

So after a fair amount of research I purchased Spector Pro... sure it's a little pricy but the results were spectacular... most importantly it eliminated the "trust question" inherent in parent/child agreements.. After two weeks of use I can honestly say I would have been thrilled with the results if it had cost $400!! At $100 it is a steal!!

Some comments on the product;
1) Make certain to turn off all anti-virus programs before begining installation! I ignored that instruction because well, I usually do and rarely have a problem. This time the program wouldn't work until I did an uninstall and reinstall.
2) While I'm not a geek, I am fairly knowledgeable but still found set-up of the remote monitoring feature to be complex and confusing. It took four tries and about an hour before I got it right. (if you are less stubborn than I a call to tech support would be in order)
3) The screen shot feature is great but lacks a speedy enough "fast forward" button; it can get pretty tedious if you have more than a couple of days of data to look through.
4) The scheduling feature is fabulous!! Your child can use the computer for homework but can only access the internet during the schedule you set. Perfect for working parents!!

While this product is pitched as a "monitoring tool" that misses the real value; it is an unemotional management tool that provides your child with a structured environment, it frees you and your child from daily negotiations over computer use and it eliminates (or at least limits) the parental worry about their child's internet use.






"Do you have teenagers? You need this."
This software works great. I had no problems installing or using it. I am able to monitor what my son does online & have found out many things that I would have never found out without Spector Pro. I am amazed at some of the stuff I see on these kids MySpace pages. Parents, you need this software to check on what your kids are doing & who their online friends are. It's a little pricey but well worth it.

"Well worth it!!!"
I once heard Judge Judy say, "How can you tell when a teenager is lying? When they open their mouths!" If you really want to know what your teenager is up to on Myspace, you need this. A little pricey, but so well worth it. I am not as computer savvy as my kid, but I installed it and got more than an eyeful to help guide my child to the right path. It is also completely hidden, so it hasn't been detected! I stay one step ahead of my child in this world of so many confusing mixed messages to entice them to make choices that they may regret later.
