VERO BEACH, FL - August 21, 2002 - SpectorSoft Corporation announced today that it has begun shipping a major upgrade to eBlaster, an innovative software product that allows you to know exactly what your family member or employee is doing on the Internet, even if they are thousands of miles away.

eBlaster 3.0 records, then instantly and automatically forwards a copy of both incoming and outgoing emails, including Hotmail, Yahoo mail, AOL email, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange, Earthlink and Mindspring email. Like the previous version, eBlaster 3.0 will record all web sites visited, all applications launched and all keystrokes typed, then send an activity report every sixty minutes to a user-specified email address.

This activity report contains both sides of any chat conversation and instant message, including AOL chat rooms, AOL and MSN Instant Messenger, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger. Also included are the URL of every web site visited, every keystroke (including date and time and actual captured characters) and a summary of all emails. You can even specify certain words or phrases and if those words are typed, eBlaster captures the content and notifies you by email immediately, alerting you to possible trouble.

"Only one product provides you with INSTANT and EXACT copies of emails, chats and instant messages and that is eBlaster 3.0," states C. Douglas Fowler, President of SpectorSoft Corporation, "When you have concerns about the email activities of a child or spouse or want to monitor an employee's use of company or personal email during business hours, eBlaster 3.0 automatically and immediately sends you a copy of the email that was sent or received. Whether you're at another computer or in another country, eBlaster sends the information to your email account within seconds."

Fowler provides an example of how a parent might use eBlaster:

"You are at work. It is 3:00 PM and your child has just gotten home from school. She receives an email after signing onto the Internet. Within seconds, you receive an EXACT copy of that email at your work computer, showing you who sent the email and the exact content of the email. She replies to the email and within seconds, you receive an exact copy of THAT email."

"This lets you determine instantly whether the person communicating with your child is truly a good person, or whether this person is out to cause harm to your child", continues Fowler. "Child molesters are notorious for gaining the trust of a child over a long period of time by exhibiting interest in their daily lives. Once they've gained your child's trust, they come in for the kill. Children have difficulty differentiating between someone with good intentions and someone with bad intentions, but as a parent you have ‘radar' concerning your child that is much more in tune with reality. eBlaster 3.0 arms you with the exact communication between your child and an adult, allowing you to put an immediate stop to potentially harmful intruders."

eBlaster 3.0 is available for instant download at spectorsoft.com or by calling toll-free (888) 598-2788. Single user eBlaster 3.0 is priced at $99.95, with evaluation copies and license pricing available. SpectorSoft provides free technical support seven days a week on all products.
