How can Spector Pro Help?
Spector Pro records your child’s MySpace activity so you will know exactly what he/she is doing while on MySpace. You will see when they update their profile, post pictures, make comments about other MySpace users, send messages to other MySpace users, invite someone to be a friend, accept an invitation from a new friend, and much more.
When blocking just isn't enough. Or you need to know what's being said to your child or what your child is saying to others and so much more..
