Solution #2:
To give the parent a clear picture of what their child is
doing on the computer, SpectorSoft’s Spector Pro software
continually takes snapshots of whatever is on the computer
screen. These snapshots can be taken as frequently as once
a second, or they may be taken based on user activity, such
as mouse clicks, page scrolling, new web page visits, or the
opening of new programs. This gives the parent an
extremely accurate and visual view of what the child they
are monitoring has been doing on the computer. Reviewing
the recordings is simple with easy to use VCR-like controls
(Figure 2). Move forward one screen at a time to see step
by step what the child was doing on the computer, or click
"PLAY" and the snapshots play back like a video
recording. Skip ahead, instantly rewind, jump to a specific
date and time or even print individual snapshots.
Figure 2
What will a parent be able to see?
• See everything they are doing on MySpace and
Facebook, and find out if they are posting pictures
of themselves, or providing their telephone
number or address where strangers can gain
access.
• See every web site the child visits, but more
importantly, the parent will see exactly what they
do on each web site. They will see what they are
reading on the web site as well as the pictures they
are viewing on that web site and they will be able
to see how much time they spend on that web site.
• See their emails, including web-based emails like
Hotmail, AOL email, Gmail, Yahoo mail and
hundreds of others.
• See their chats and instant messages as they are
being typed. (Spector Pro also saves the entire
chat conversation and all instant messages for later
review.)
• See the programs they run and what they type into
those applications, such as in word processors,
spreadsheets, databases, presentations, games, etc.
• See what they are searching for on Google, AOL,
Yahoo, MSN and any other sites.
• See what they are shopping for on sites like eBay,
Amazon and any other sites.
All of this event information is then categorized and
displayed in an intuitive viewer (Figure 3) that can be
launched with a special keystroke sequence and password
known only by the parent. This viewer can also be
configured to run over a home network so physical access
to the child’s computer is not required. In addition to the
categorized events, the viewer displays the Top 10 of each
event category and reports on specific contextual activities
within MySpace and Facebook.
Figure 3
Often, a parent will inform their child that they are being
monitored so they can use the collected information to
make a judgment call about what behavior on the Internet is
appropriate and then take the necessary actions to educate
and modify the child’s behavior.
Both software products run in stealth mode for those
parents who choose not to inform their children that they
are being monitored.
If necessary, websites and chat/IM can be blocked once a
parent determines something is inappropriate. Tools are
also included to provide alerts when specified content is
encountered.
If a parent is the least bit concerned about their child being
contacted by a sexual predator over the Internet, these
solutions will address this issue head on. In fact, according
to a Pew Internet Research Project study
[1]
published in
September 2007, Internet monitoring software -- like
SpectorSoft's Spector Pro and eBlaster -- is more effective
than web filtering in limiting contact with strangers.
Use Cases
Problem: A parent is at work until 6 pm but their 13 year
old child arrives home on the school bus at 3 pm and
immediately goes online. The child is naïve and often
chats with strangers. The parent wants to ensure that the
child is using their computer and the Internet properly from
their office or on the road and is not interacting with a
stranger or revealing personal information that would allow
a sexual predator to meet with them.
