Web Sites Recording
Spector Client (Client) provides the ability to record addresses (URLs) of Web sites visited on a computer. For each Web event, the Client will record:
The date and time it was visited
How many times it was visited
The total time the site was open
The time the site had focus
The time the user was active on the site
The URL of the site
The window title of the site
To configure Web sites to be recorded on the computer, configure the Web Sites settings when building the Client installation file with the Spector CNE Deployment Utility.
In addition, the Web Sites settings can be changed on a Client after installation by selecting the computer within the Configure Computers View of the Control Center or by selecting the Settings tab from within the Spector Viewer when reviewing recorded data for the Client.
To review Web events recorded on a Client, use the Monitor Computers View of the Control Center to select the computer to review. See Viewing Web Sites for details on reviewing the recorded Web sites.
The Client will record Web sites visited using Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, MSN Explorer, and AOL. In addition the Client will record Web sites accessed by applications that make use of the “WebBrowser” ActiveX control installed as part of Internet Explorer. Many applications use the "WebBrowser” control to display Web sites including MS Outlook and MS Access.
The Client will record folders visited using Microsoft Explorer or Microsoft Internet Explorer. For example, the Client can record that the user visited the “c:\documents and Settings\My Documents\” or the “\\network domain\secrets\” folders using MS Explorer.
The Client will record all windows opened within the proprietary AOL 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, or 9.0 interfaces.
The Client will record all files downloaded using Internet Explorer. For example, the Client can record that the file called “largefile.zip” was downloaded from <http://somedomain.com/>.
The Client will not record Web sites using third party Web browsers that do not use the Internet Explorer "WebBrowser” control, including Opera.
The Client allows a list of Web site domains to be defined, which can be the ONLY Web sites the computer can access or the user is BLOCKED from accessing.
