My niece, at only ten years old, has just started using the computer. She recently discovered MySpace after her elder sister left the computer idle. Her parents became worried when she registered herself in a social network like MySpace because people of all ages and intentions could easily access members' supposedly personal information. My niece is too young to understand the implications of mixing with people online, or know that what people tell her online is not gospel.

So I recommended her parents to install Spector Pro, PC Magazine's award winning software. It is the only software that is able to record activities of both parties. My niece's and the people she comes into contact with in MySpace.

Not only can it record myspace chat, it can also record other activities like profile viewing and sending private messages.

Her parents were relieved that they are finally able to monitor their child's MySpace activity without seemingly looking over her shoulder.
