Spector Pro 6.0 – Computer Monitoring Software
If there is a need for an advanced, powerful, and complete monitoring of all PC and Internet activity with ease of use, then consider Spector Pro 6.0. This PC Magazine Editor’s Choice double award winner monitors everything – even keystrokes along with a record of screen shots. Easy to use and install.  For adults or youth that require comprehensive accountability software, this software is a good choice. Spectorsoft also offers a corporate network edition of its software for employee monitoring. Note: Monitoring Software does not replace the need for filtering software.  Filtering software prevents most visits to bad sites from ever taking place.  Monitoring Software only records past visits, including visits to sites missed by filtering software.
