You tell Spector Pro which words and phrases to watch out for - for example, "sex," “drugs,” “guns,” "phone number," "where do you live," "are your parents home," "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 at the office or on your cell phone).
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 responds IMMEDIATELY and sends you an email letting you know exactly what is happening so you can take action.
