Comments on: Internet Filtering Software: What Does it Do? http://parentalcontrolguides.com/internet-filtering-software-what-does-it-do/internet-filters/ Find Software to Monitor & Protect Your Children Online Sat, 06 Sep 2008 16:27:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Scott http://parentalcontrolguides.com/internet-filtering-software-what-does-it-do/internet-filters/#comment-84 Scott Wed, 21 May 2008 17:57:30 +0000 http://parentalcontrolguides.com/internet-filtering-software-what-does-it-do/internet-filters/#comment-84 Monitoring and filtering software is not just good software to have; with the dangers of the internet today it is software you need to have if you have children using the computer. It’s funny that very few people will risk their computer by going on the internet without an anti virus program; but many waver on whether to protect their children by monitoring their actions on the internet. How can protecting your child be less important than protecting your computer? My wife and I installed a program called Spector Pro on our daughter’s computer and it has allowed us to monitor her internet activity discreetly and easily. I had heard of keyloggers before but I had no idea software like this could include so many features. The Spector Pro program records all the keystrokes, chats, emails and it even takes snap shots of the screen that I can play back like a VCR. It allows me to see everything that has been on the computer screen. We originally purchased the program because we were concerned about her use of MySpace and Facebook. One of the main reasons we chose Spector Pro was because it has separate recording features for these sites. I can see all the MySpace and Facebook information separately; including login information, profiles she is viewing and who is viewing her; it even lets me when she posts to her blog or posts pictures. This program has been a real life saver. It not only allowed us to correct some issues we were concerned with; but it now gives us the piece of mind that comes from knowing EXACTLY what she is doing online.
