Spector Pro includes what many consider to be the BEST key logger on the market, saving keystrokes by application, by date and time.

With Spector Pro, you will know what was typed, where and when it was typed, and you will also know WHO typed it because Spector Pro keeps a record of who is logged into the computer.

The Spector Pro Keystroke Recording tool will document every key typed on the PC keyboard. Spector Pro not only captures standard alphanumeric keystrokes, but also records "hidden" characters and keystroke combinations, such as the Shift and Ctrl key, as well as “true” keystrokes which may other-wise appear differently on screen (such as an * when a password is typed).

Keystroke recordings are organized chronologically by Application and by Window allowing you to easily differentiate between what is typed in a word processing document, email, spreadsheet, or Internet browser (even passwords).

Keystroke Recording Features

• Records ALL Typed Keystrokes
• Records Hidden Characters and
   True Keystrokes
• Data Stored Chronologically by
   Application and by Window
• Print Transcript of Keystrokes

ENHANCED!

The Web Site Recording tool continually monitors every web page that is accessed on the computer and saves a record of the URLs chronologically for your review. Spector Pro is much more sophisticated than the History feature of your web browser, providing you with important details including: Time of Last Visit, Duration of Time on the Web Site, Active Time on Web Site, Total Number of Visits to the Web Site and more!

Spector Pro will also capture every file downloaded via the Internet. Illegal software downloads, pornographic pictures or video, music files, online gambling software and more are automatically recorded.

Additionally, you can quickly highlight any recorded Domain Name or URL and choose to block future access – or – take preventative action and create your own list of web sites to block.

With Spector Pro’s advanced and intuitive Web Site recording, you will get a quick, yet exact picture of each person's web surfing.

   Specific URLs visited

NEW!

Spector Pro provides the ability to record every program (or application) and program window run on the computer you are monitoring. For each program, Spector Pro will capture the name of the person who used the program, when the program was started and how long the program was running. In addition, Spector Pro will provide even more useful information, such as how much time the program was ACTIVELY used. Was the program simply opened and left on-screen, an indication someone might be trying to deceive you into thinking they were working all day in Word and Excel (when they were really surfing the web)?

With Spector Pro, you will know, because Spector Pro keeps track of other information, such as keyboard and mouse movements, to help determine whether a program is being actively used. Spector Pro also shows you EXACTLY how many keystrokes have been typed in each application. If your secretary typed 80 keystrokes in Word or Excel all day, what are the chances she was doing much work? (Of course, with Spector Pro's other recording features, like screen snapshots, you won't have to guess.)

The Program Recorder allows you to see at a glance ALL of the applications that have been used each day. If someone downloads a new program that starts affecting the performance of your computer, you'll be able to quickly see the new program in Spector Pro.

Note: Spector Pro can record all programs or just the ones you want. Complete flexibility.

Program Activity Recording Features

• Record every Program launched
   on the PC
• View the Day and Time Programs
   are launched
• View the Total Amount of Time
   a Program was Active

NEW!

You have probably heard the stories in the news - parents being sued by the music industry because their children were illegally downloading copyrighted songs using peer to peer (also known as P2P) services like Kazaa.

Many parents don't even know that their children are downloading music illegally and some parents have already had to pay thousands of dollars in fines.

These peer to peer services are also popular for trading pornographic pictures and video. Are your children or employees downloading or swapping porn? Are your employees using the company's high speed internet connection to steal music or download large video files, tying up valuable network bandwidth and posing potential legal liability to your business? Do you really want to take a chance that the RIAA or the MPAA will come after you or your company for illegally downloaded or pirated software, music or movies?

Spector Pro records peer to peer events of popular services, including Kazaa, so that you will know what your kids or employees are searching for and what they are downloading. Spector Pro also provides the ability to block access to these peer to peer programs.

Peer to Peer (P2P) Recording Features

• Records Kazaa & Kazaa Lite
• Records Gnucleus
• Records Limewire
• Records other Peer to Peer
   programs the use the Gnutella file
   sharing engine
• View the Day and Time a P2P
   search or download occurred
• View the text of all searches
   conducted within P2P programs
• View the name of all files
   downloaded using P2P programs
• View the type of media (audio,
   video, software, etc...)

Imagine a surveillance camera pointed directly at your computer monitor, filming away anything anybody does online, and storing this in a secure area for your later review. That is the idea behind the Snapshot Recording tool in Spector Pro.

Spector Pro takes hundreds of snapshots every hour, very much like a surveillance camera. Snapshots are taken of whatever is on the computer screen and saved away in a protected location on the computer's hard drive. You determine how frequently Spector Pro records – as often as once per second.

That means you get detailed visual recordings of all chat conversations, instant messages, emails typed and read, all web sites visited, all programs run, all keystrokes typed – everything they do on the computer and on the Internet.

Is your employee emailing somebody using a Hotmail account? Spector Pro will take pictures of that, save it away, and allow you to come back minutes, hours or even days later and see EXACTLY what they were typing and reading and viewing.

Is your child having secret chat conversations with an adult stranger? What motives does the stranger have? Maybe they are good, but maybe they are bad, and you need to know. Spector Pro will take pictures of the chats and let you see exactly what they are discussing.

Are they viewing pornography online while you are asleep, or engaging in cyber sex when they know you disapprove? Spector Pro will show you in EXACT VISUAL detail every web site they visit, every picture they view, every chat room they visit.

Reviewing the recordings is simple with easy to use, VCR-like controls. Click “PLAY” and the snapshots of your PC play back like a video recording. Skip ahead, instantly rewind, move to a specific date and time, print individual snapshots and more!

Snapshot Recording is simply the most powerful way to record and review everything they do online and offline.

Snapshot Recording Features

• VCR Style Playback
• Fast Forward
• Immediate Rewind
• Data Stored Chronologically
• Advanced Compression
• Inactivity Timeout
• Automatic Resume of Recording
• Automatic Suspension of
   Recording
• Black & White or Color Recording
• Export to BMP or JPEG formats
• Print any Saved Images

One of the most powerful features of Spector Pro is its advanced Keyword Detection and Notification. Create a list of "on alert" words or phrases and Spector Pro will continually monitor keyboard typing, URLs, web pages, incoming and outgoing emails, chat conversations and instant messages for these offending words or phrases.

When a keyword or phrase is detected, Spector Pro immediately jumps into overdrive. Snapshot frequency is automatically increased to ensure that every detail of the offender’s actions are recorded. Additionally, Spector Pro collects information regarding the offense and sends you an instant keyword alert via email.

Each keyword alert contains the following information:

1. The keyword that was detected
2. The time the keyword was detected
3. The current user logged in to Windows
4. Additional detailed information (Example: the URL where the keyword was found)

You tell Spector Pro which words and phrases to watch out for - for example, "sex," "phone number," "where do you live," "are your parents home," "is your wife sleeping," "I hate my boss" - whatever YOU decide to include. You also tell Spector Pro where to send the INSTANT ALERTS (you specify your email address).

Then, when the person using the computer TYPES in one of these words or phrases, or when they are chatting and one of these words comes up, or when they are sending or receiving an email with one of these words or phrases, Spector Pro takes IMMEDIATE action and sends you an email letting you know exactly what is happening so you can take action.

Keyword Detection Features

• Quickly Define Keywords/Phrases to Monitor
• Instant Email Notification Upon Detection of Keyword/Phrase
• Works In Conjunction With Email, Web Site, Chat/IM, Keystroke and Snapshot Recording Tools
• Increased Snapshot Frequency Upon Keyword Detection

NEW! - Internet Access Blocking
Parents and employers, upon seeing the kinds of places and things their kids and employees are getting into on the ever growing Internet, have asked us to provide them with ways to help restrict Internet access. With Spector Pro, you can now block specific web sites from being accessed, or you can block specific Internet applications like AOL Instant Messenger from being accessed. You can even block AOL from being accessed altogether. You can do this by day of week and/or by time of week. You can begin to see the powerful possibilities.

Example:

The kids get home from school a few hours before you get home from work. You have asked that they use this time to do their homework, but you have found (using Spector Pro) that they are always chatting with their friends using AOL Instant Messenger during this time.

The solution? Tell Spector Pro to block AOL Instant Messenger between the hours of 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. Now when the kids try to chat with their friends during these times, they will be blocked.

OK. Maybe your kids think they are going to get smart and decide to use Yahoo Messenger. Well, with Spector Pro you have choices. Either you can block Yahoo Messenger, or you can just choose to block ALL Internet Access during those hours.

With Spector Pro, you can block as little as you want or as much as you want. Complete Power. Complete Flexibility. You are in Control.

NEW! - Powerful, Fast Search of Recorded Activities
Quickly search through all recorded chats, instant messages, emails, URLs, keystrokes typed. Search by keyword or phrase. Find all chats between two people or all emails containing profanity or all URLs containing the word "SEX". Do you suspect somebody is using your password? In seconds, search through every keystroke typed in your computer over the last month to find every time your password has been typed. Are your employees passing confidential information via instant messenger? Find out quickly by searching for different words and phrases - use with Spector Pro's automatic Keyword Detection and Instant Notification for an unmatched combination of monitoring, surveillance, search and intelligence.

Flexible Recording Options
Spector Pro can be set to record on a schedule. Most people will want Spector to record at all times. However, there may be certain times of day, or certain days of the week where you do not want Spector to record. Scheduling allows you the flexibility to pre-determine what is recorded and when recording takes place. Set recording schedules by day of the week, time of day or Windows application being used.

Example:

You use the computer at certain times of the day and you do not want your own activities recorded. Or, you are an employer and you want to allow your employees to use the computer during lunch breaks or after work and not record their activity during these times.

Record By User ID
Record ALL users or narrow your focus to a specific user or group of users. Spector Pro allows you to identify specific Windows User Login IDs (for Windows NT, 2000 or XP) so that whenever they are using the PC, their actions are being recorded. Combined with the Scheduling feature, you can record ANY user, ANYWHERE on your network, ANYTIME of the day or week.

Stealth Technology - Keep Spector Protected From Everyone Except You
Spector Pro offers three levels of security that protect the program and recorded data from being altered or tampered with. Security features include: Stealth Mode, Hot Key Access and Password Protection.

Stealth Mode
Stealth technology ensures that Spector Pro is completely protected from everyone except those with authorized access. It will not appear in the Windows System Tray, Desktop, Task Manager or Add/Remove Programs Menu.

Hot Key Access
Your recordings are protected by a combination of Hot Keys that you choose. Spector Pro can only be accessed through your defined Hot Key combination.

Password Protection
As an added measure of security, Spector Pro will prompt you for a password before opening the PC recording files. This ensures that anyone attempting to access the recordings is an authorized user.

NEW! - Spector for Corporate Office Networks
SpectorSoft introduces Spector CNE (Corporate Network Edition) - a robust network-based version of the award-winning Spector Pro. Spector CNE features the comprehensive recording capabilities of Spector Professional Edition and integrates corporate network installation, configuration and deployment tools with the ability to save your recordings over an office network.
