Web Site Settings

Spector Pro captures the domain and subdomain names of every web site visit, allowing you to review when and in what order web sites were accessed, and how much time was spent on each. See Viewing Web Sites Visited.      

Use Web Site settings to:

Turn web site recording on and off.

Adjust HTTP and HTTPS port settings, if necessary.

Control whether or not activity on a Mozilla-based browser and AOL Security Edition is captured.
