WestView Capital Partners and HarbourVest Partners have made a growth investment in SpectorSoft Corporation, a market leader in personal computer monitoring and surveillance software for both enterprise and consumer environments.

SpectorSoft’s products record emails, chats/IM, web sites visited, online searches, keystrokes typed, file transfer activity, MySpace/Facebook and other social networking activity and take computer screen snapshots. An employer, teacher, parent, or family member can replay any recorded activity to get an exact and highly visual representation of what an employee, student, or child has been doing on the computer and on the Internet. Founded in 1999, SpectorSoft continues to be led by company founders, Doug Fowler and Ron Chesley.

“As a result of the tremendous dedication and constant innovation from our team, we have evolved into a leading developer of PC and Internet monitoring and surveillance products,” said Ron Chesley, co-founder SpectorSoft. “We’re excited to partner with HarbourVest and WestView as we enter the next phase of our growth and look forward to benefiting from their experience in similar growth and technology investments.”

“We look forward to our partnership with SpectorSoft. Building on its success in the consumer market, SpectorSoft has significant opportunities for continued growth in the enterprise segment of the internet monitoring, web filtering and data leak prevention sectors,” commented Rob Wadsworth, Managing Director at HarbourVest. “SpectorSoft is a great example of the types of growth-oriented and entrepreneurial, founder-owned businesses we seek to invest in here at WestView,” stated Carlo von Schroeter, Managing Partner at WestView.
