Get an exact picture of the user's web surfing habits. Spector Pro saves a record of every web page that is accessed on the computer for you to review. Although similar to the History feature of typical browsers, Spector Pro goes further by providing important details such as the total number of visits made to a web site, the total amount of time there was keyboard or mouse activity during the visit, and more. You can quickly highlight any domain, subdomain or URL and block access to it.

By default, Spector Pro captures web site activity. To learn more about the settings that affect what you view in this window, see Web Site Settings. |
The Web Sites Visited event window displays information in three panes: Navigate, Detail, and Summary. Use the Navigate pane to select different information to display in the other two panes. You may change the order in which columns are arranged or how information is sorted within a column.
Navigate Pane (upper)
Each visit to the Internet is considered one recorded event. Events are arranged in groups and sub groups and sub-sub groups, each of which is displayed like a branch on a tree. By default, events are grouped first by date, although you may choose to group the events differently.
Click on the plus (+) sign, which then becomes a minus (-) sign, next to the Web Sites icon to expand the tree and view each date for which activity was recorded.
Click on the plus (+) sign next to a date to expand the tree and view each domain (web site) visited on that date.
Click on the plus (+) sign next to the domain to expand the tree and view each subdomain visited within that domain.
Summary Pane (lower)
Click the Summary tab to view this pane. The Summary pane displays totals for each recorded event(s) highlighted in the Navigate pane. By navigating up or down in the tree above, you display a wider or narrower view of events.
For example:
Select the icon at the top of the tree to display totals for all web site activity that has been recorded.
Select a particular date, for example Fri, Aug 25, 2006, to display totals for each domain visited on that date.
Select a domain, for example partypoker.com, to display totals only for that domain.
Detail Pane (lower)
Click the Details tab to view this pane. The Detail pane displays specific information for each recorded event(s) highlighted in the Navigate pane. By navigating up or down in the tree above, you display a wider or narrower view of events.
For example:
Select the icon at the top of the tree to display details for all web site activity that has been recorded.
Select a particular date, for example Fri, Aug 25, 2006, to display details for each subdomain visited on that date.
Select a domain, for example partypoker.com, to display details for each subdomain visited within that domain.
Select a subdomain, for example www.partypoker.com, to display details only for that subdomain.
Double click on an event where a thumbtack icon appears to open a Post Data Content window which displays the information that was posted.
The Summary pane displays the following columns:

The dialog viewer has all the standard functionality to print, export (Save As) and move back/next through web events.
