But besides programs are often loaded in the computer through the Network which spy for our actions and report on them on the unknown owners. Such espionage utilities are usually established on the personal computer together with the free programs promising – and carrying out – something useful. But, as it is known, free cheese happens only in a mousetrap.
The second kind of spyware programs comes to us not from the Internet, and from the dear heads which wishes to know, what we are doing in working hours. Such variant is worse that you cannot forbid chief to watch to you! Both jealous spouses and vigilant parents use similar things.
Commercial scanners of the keyboard, such as Spector Pro, Eblaster, WinWhatWhere, XPCSpy, Desktop Surveillance Personal Edition watch your actions absolutely imperceptibly. They mark not only each pressed key, but also each visiting of a web site, the message of e-mail or ICQ.

Everything that you do on the computer registers and transferred to unknown person Alex.
Revealing of invisible beings.
Many similar utilities mask very well under “legal” appendices and processes. Existing software for struggle against them not always give desirable effect. Any of known anty spyware programs, such as 1Ad-aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, PestPatrol and Spy Sweeper, does not distinguish and does not destroy all of 100 % of “strangers”. It is necessary to rely on a logical reason: more antispyware utilities are used; the chances of success are higher. It is recommended to install, at least, Ad-aware and Spybot on the computer connected to the Internet.
In any case, program-scanner switching-off will warn its owner that you know everything.
