Defining Email Tracking Software
Even though
children use chat more than email it is still vital to track.
Time and time again parents believe that they know what kind
of email their children send and receive because they can just
look in their email that was created by the Internet Service
Provider.
Chances are that they can see those emails, if they do not delete
them. What about webmail that is offered to anyone free of charge?
More than likely a teenager realizes that they can have their
privacy by creating a free webmail account and simply not tell
anyone they have it.
It has been reported by Symantec (the makers of Norton
Anti-Virus ) that more than 80% of children that use email
receive inappropriate email on a daily basis.
Inappropriate email can cause a child to feel uncomfortable
because they may not understand what they are seeing.
Email tracking software is just as important as chat or web
site tracking software.
As always, we suggest that the first thing you should do is
have a one on one conversation with your child and explain what
you feel is appropriate and if they see something inappropriate,
they should come and talk to you.
In addition to talking with your children, find a tracking software that will record all kinds of email. You do not want to settle for an email tracking software that is only going to record one specific type of email.
SpectorSoft has an email tracker that will keep tabs on most
of the popular email AND webmail that children use. This includes
email sent and received from Netscape webmail, Hotmail, Yahoo
email, Net Zero web based email, AOL webmail, AOL Proprietary
email (such as AOL 9.0), Myspace web mail, Outlook and Outlook
Express (SMTP and Exchange).
With the email tracking software installed on the computer that
your children use, you will have a record of every email sent
and received. You will also know who, what, when, and where it
came from.
-PLUS-
Spector Pro ALSO records chat and instant messages, MySpace, online searches, keystrokes,
web sites visited, programs launched, files downloaded from Peer
to peer applications like Kazaa, and also has the ability to
take screen snapshots every few seconds and you may view the
recordings in a fashion similar to playing a movie on a VCR.
In closing, if you are a parent and need to know what kind of
email your child is viewing and sending, we recommend Spector
Pro. With Spector Pro you will be able to have anaward
winning email tracking software, but also be able to record everything
else your kids do on the computer.
