Pedophiles and Cyber Bully’s Beware!

New Software Sees and Reports Everything You Say Online

 

It’s no longer about the creepy guy in the van, tempting kids with candy or the school bully stealing kid’s lunch money. Today pedophiles and cyber bullies are savvy Onliner’s coming into children’s homes via the internet.

 

They prowl chat rooms, virtual website communities, use instant messages and email to lure kids. Before, education was the only line of defense. Today, Litera released the first affordable (under $50), web based software called, PredatorWatch. Now Parents and Educators have a new weapon that uses keystroke, keyword and snapshot technology to capture and report ALL online conversations, created documents and block websites that consist of alert words. Parents and Schools can now know who, what, where, when and what online dangerous their children face and obtain the evidence authorities need to apprehend online predators.

 

 “Sadly, a recent survey found that one out of every seven kids are solicited or approached for sex online, 34% are exposed to unwanted sexual material and this year there was a 9% increase of online harassment. The ‘don’t talk to strangers,’ chat is not enough.  Checking conversations is a necessity that enables Parents to protect their kids and keep them safe from anything that might be harmful or deadly.” explained LiTera’s CEO, Doug Ralston.

 

How do you catch a predator? By capturing the information!
PredatorWatch ensure the security of data while providing the flexibility to invisible check one or multiple designated computers from anywhere. The proprietary system uses keystroke technology that automatically scans and snapshots all data including: email, instant messages, chat room, virtual website community conversations and content of any document created on the monitored computer. When a keyword comes up, the subject, who sent it, who received it and the time and date it was sent, received and/or created is reported. Designated users can also access email attachments no matter which email program is used.

With Predator Watch, Parents no longer need to go to numerous search engines to set up parental filters to block unwanted websites. Using key alert words, PredatorWatch blocks any website and alerts Parents if anyone tries to access those sites. Different lists and alerts can be created for different users and computers.
