Snapguard’s Spector software to play major role in cyber-bullying
Published:  01 October, 2007

It is a sad reality that over a third of our teenagers are currently falling victim to Internet bullying, and the Government has now announced a major new crackdown to stamp out the abuse, which costs many teenagers their happiness, their exam results and in some cases their lives.

Internet bullies use the everpopular networking websites like MySpace, Bebo and web broadcaster You Tube to taunt their victims. The Association of Teachers and Lecturers’ Mary Bousted revealed that the bullying does not stop at teenagers and reports that one in five of her members have themselves complained of cyberbullying in the past year alone.

With a number of Government initiatives currently being worked on to address the problem, a UK based firm, called Snapguard (www.snapguard.co.uk), is already able to offer a range of highly effective software packages which are designed to significantly reduce or eliminate the problems associated with Internet abuse. The SpectorSoft range of PC and Internet monitoring products were developed in the U.S. and are now considered the world’s leading software applications to help combat PC and Internet abuse.

SpectorSoft software packages are designed to record all emails and email attachments sent and received from MS Outlook and MS Exchanges as well as from web mail accounts such Hotmail, Yahoo AOL and Gmail. All chat room and instant messenger applications are recorded as are all programmes run on desktop including games, music players and all Microsoft applications. In addition, SpectorSoft packages will record all websites visited, including the date and time of visits, the durations of visits and even the amount of time an individual is active on a website.

Licenses cost from just £49-99 +vat for a single user, rising to £999 +vat for the 25 licence network version. Snapguard is the exclusive distributor and support partner for the SpectorSoft Corp.

The combination of affordable cost and unique features, coupled with the best customer care in the business, has made SpectorSoft and Snapguard the natural choice in the fight against Internet abuse in the UK. Telephone and email support is available on all products 24 hours a day, every day of the year. All SpectorSoft packages can be purchased directly from Snapguard by calling 0870 766 9656 or by visiting the company’s website at www.snapguard.co.uk
