Nov. 13 — Here’s a sobering thought: While you’re looking at your computer, it may be looking back at you. There is easy-to-get, even free, software that lets anybody spy on you, anytime you are on your computer.
LAST WEEK, KNTV and MSNBC.com examined online infidelity and found Internet temptation is quietly on the rise. It turns out, so is the prevalence of spy software designed to catch a cheating lover.

If there's a spy on my puter, he's not too smart. I'm too broke to go on vacation, but continually get banking and hotel pop ups. Though I do wonder why I hear helicopters every time I log onto FR...

Thanks. You might think it's not an exhaustive list. I got tired just thinking about doing everything that needs to be done.
Especially after visiting aztlan.net the other night. Which I recommend no one visit unless they are equipped with the type of protection you kindly linked to for us.

Any government spending money watching me is wasting its money. :shrug:
Perhaps they could focus on terrorists?
Naw....that'd be too intolerant of them.

SPY ON THIS.I do not like the fact that someone may be watching me, but what a boring job for the chap. I am a boring guy who reads DRUDGE, and FREE REPUBLIC 30 times a day. Other than that I am out teaching my 10, and 9 year old how important it is to be well round, and a productive member of society.
I hate the thought that the USG is spending my tax dollars, to watch me ... WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!
To: mtbopfuyn
Helicopters when you log in?
incredible,
maybe you are a terrorist
paranoiac
To: Bobby777
I deliberately surf the Internet as often as possible to help put the watchers to sleep with my useless activities. An associate engages in similar activity by browsing as many pornographic sites as possible so as to tittilate the watchers into a frenzy of ineffectiveness.
Just two small sacrifices to help keep Liberty safe.
Best regards,

I'm curious also. I called the guy I rely on when my grandson is not available and asked him after listening to Kim Komando talk about it for PeeCees. He had nothing to offer???

I recommend (whatever that is worth) a complete and thurough reformating of your hard drive. Hard devices that spy on you?? Well, know your computer.. one way is the Belarc software program that list all the devices and software on your computer.
