Monitoring Software

As I travel around speaking, I have heard first hand, some of the horror stories that parents are facing with their children's activities on the Internet. Because of that, I have decided that using monitoring software is most definitely the way to go in trying to protect our children. So, what is monitoring software? I will explain.
Imagine hooking up your camcorder just above your shoulderand turning it on and recording everything you do during the day. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, no matter what you say (or to whom). It records everything. Simply stated, that is what monitoring software does. It resides on your computer and records evey single bit of activity that transpires via that computer. The added benefit is that it does this secretly. No matter what someone may try to do (short of them beng a VERY sophisticated computer professional), it cannot be defeated. Not only that, but this software also will send you, the parent, a report detailing every single keystroke that was typed.
I have quantifiable data that for me has been very gratifying. Because of my recommendations, I can attest to at least a dozen lives that have been saved solely because of this software. Invariably, after a parent has installed this software, I get a phone call telling me how simply amzed they are to have found out what their child has been doing online.
After testiing over a dozen products, I finally narrowed my picks down to one that I feel is best value for features and money. There are two different versions of it available. One is called SpectorPro and the other is called eBlaster. I lean more toward eBlaster (even though both are equally as good) for one simple reason. You can set up the program to email you the reports of your child's activity according to when you want the update. I find a lot of parents are having the emails sent to their Blackberrys so that no matter where they are or what they are doing, they can keep track of what their children are up to. Jump back into my website and click on the link to go to their website. You will even get a discount.
Do yourself, and your family a favor and order this software. It very well may save your child's life.
