Why use Spy Software?

Perfect for revealing the truth about what they do on the Internet while you are away, spy software is the easy way to record what your child, spouse or employee does on the computer behind your back. This includes their emails, chat conversations, instant messages, web sites visited and much more.

Child: Do you know whether or not your teenager is being SAFE and mature online? Are Internet predators talking to your child on MySpace or Xanga? Do your children give out information that could potentially put your family in danger?

Spouse: Do you suspect that your spouse is cheating? Who does YOUR spouse talk to online? Do they email an offline lover? Do they perform cybersex with a webcam and microphone? Does your spouse waste money at casino web sites?

Employees: Does your employee waste time surfing the web or playing games when unsupervised? Does the employee do the work they are supposed to be doing? Do you have an employee who is stealing information from you?

What is Spy Software?

Spy Software, also known as monitoring software, is a computer program that secretly monitors your PC's activity which involves recording:

The computer spy programs are designed to run in complete stealth mode, so it is completely hidden to others while using your PC. That is why they do not show any icons, program groups or any other mention of the program. The access to the recorded activity is made by pressing a set of keys together and then entering your password into a window. Also the monitoring activity is delivered to you by email.

Is there any difference between spy software and computer monitoring software?

Both these names can be used to describe the same kind of programs. But some people say that the difference lies in the fact that spy software works without detection and computer activity monitoring programs warn the user that his activity is monitored. But the border between these two kinds of software is very vague.

Top features that a Spy Software should provide:

Is spy software illegal?

No, there is nothing illegal about spy software itself. The vast majority of its developers are law-abiding people who create their programs exclusively for legitimate purposes. There are many situations when monitoring the computer activity is perfectly legal: the parents can use key loggers to protect their children from online abuse, the companies may use Internet monitoring software to ensure that their employees don't misuse corporate Internet connection and so on. Of course some people can use the very same software for stealing passwords, credit card numbers or corporate secrets. However, even in this situation it's not the software that breaks the law, but the person using it. There are also uses that are not strictly illegal, but have some moral ambiguity to them (for example, a computer activity monitor may be used to catch in the act a cheating spouse).

Do I break any law by using computer activity monitors?

It depends on the way you use them. In most cases you have the right to install any programs on the computer that belongs to you. You also have the right to install programs on other peoples' computers if you have their permission. Installing a monitoring program on another person's computer without his/her permission may be illegal. We will not try to give you any advice on the legal side of computer activity monitoring because everything depends on your particular situation. If you are in doubt, consult your lawyer.

Can spy software be used for any legitimate purposes?

Yes, sure. Here are just a few examples of perfectly legal uses of computer activity monitoring tools. You can:

Do I need physical access to the machine I want to install a computer activity monitor on?

Yes. The legitimate installation should be done by a user with administrative rights on the monitored machine. In this way you can make sure that the activity for all users is monitored.

Can a user find out that he is being monitored?

Almost all computer monitors work in the stealth mode. They are not visible in the task list, they don't appear in the registry and are not shown in the standard startup areas. Even a very experienced user won't be able to detect them unless he uses special detection software up-to-date and the changes are extremely low. Anyway the monitoring activity and the email reporting address are encrypted and no one can tell who made the installation.
