Du skal have spyware!

Use of Spyware - software designed to monitor computer usage - is on the rise, both in and out of the workplace. And it's started a trend that's having a seismic impact on many lives.

One new spyware product, WinWhatWhere's Investigator 3.0, has the flexibility to leave absolutely no tracks as it covertly monitors usage, or it can notify users that they are being monitored. The product is intended to cater to differing opinions concerning invasion of privacy.

In many spyware products there are clues to the presence of monitoring. "The way most of the monitoring programs work is that they capture screen shots of the user's desktop at very regular intervals, such as every 5 seconds," says Tom Wolf, press representative for WinWhatWhere's Investigator. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist on the user's end to listen and detect the system activity that happens while a screen is being captured."

Investigator 3.0, by contrast, can document when an application started, who ran it, all window titles, and keyboard activity, without relying solely on screen captures. In addition, it has an optional Notification Banner that can be set within the program to inform users that their activities will be monitored and documented.
