VERO BEACH, FL - July 12, 2002 - With employee Internet abuse becoming a commonplace occurrence in today's business environment, savvy resellers are adding surveillance software to their product mix for those customers wishing to monitor and record employee activities.

The average employee spends more than 75 minutes per day at work visiting shopping or sporting web sites, conducting stock transactions, sending and receiving personal email and chat conversations, viewing pornography, and other non-business related activities. As a result, American businesses are losing tens of billions of dollars, according to IDC. In order to protect resources and limit liability, most corporations and small to medium businesses have adopted technology to monitor and record their employee's activities.

"High speed internet access can lessen employee productivity and create liability and bandwidth concerns for businesses", says Jodi Hynes, Owner of JMH Computer Consulting and Training in Coon Rapids, MN. "Spector Pro is an excellent solution for those companies concerned with internet abuse."

When a customer needs visual verification of employee Internet and PC activity, Spector Professional Edition, from SpectorSoft Corporation, is a flexible, yet comprehensive employee monitoring and surveillance tool. Spector Pro, recently awarded PC Magazine Editors' Choice for monitoring software, provides a secure, cost-effective solution that quickly detects abuse and reduces the risks involved in providing Internet access.

"With the release of Spector Pro, we offer our Solution Providers a powerful suite of surveillance tools for multiple markets", states Doug Fowler, President of SpectorSoft. "We are committed to partnering with our resellers in order to provide our corporate, business, education, government and consumer customers with the best, most comprehensive PC and Internet monitoring and recording technology on the market today."

Spector Pro records both sides of the chat conversation for AOL Chat Rooms, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger and records other Chat/IM programs via snapshots. The advanced keyword detection and notification feature alerts the administrator by email when specified keywords are detected in chat conversations and instant messages, incoming and outgoing email, URLs and web pages. Each alert contains the keyword detected, the time the keyword was detected, the current user logged in and additional detailed information.

Spector Pro also includes VCR-like snapshot recording, sophisticated keystroke journals, email recording that captures and displays a list of all incoming and outgoing email including Yahoo mail, Hotmail, Excite mail and AOL web based mail, AOL email and all SMTP/POP3-based emails, as well as scheduling features and stealth mode installation
