And before the Operating System wars begin, yes, you can get keyloggers for the Mac and even Linux A technology-savvy user could most probably detect a keylogger, but the average user would never know it was there.

Commercial AntiVirus products wont catch 'em because they're commercial products themselves and not "officially" viruses or trojans. There's a difference between spyware dropped by overzealous marketeers and the secret surveillance software placed by soon-to-be ex-spouses, bosses, and devious co-workers. AdAware and similar programs won't catch em either.

Protective software exists out there (google "keylogger detectors") but I hesitate to recommend one over another.

This part of the article bears repeating:

"If you have concerns about what family members are doing on the Internet, talk to them. Ask what they're doing on line.

Let your children know what you consider to be appropriate or inappropriate. Make sure they know to never give out personal information.

If you have issues with a spouse, don't let them simmer. Give your employees ground rules for what they can or cannot do on line and on company time.

Software like this should be a last resort. Having someone discover that you've been spying on them is a very efficient way to destroy whatever trust remains in a fragile relationship, and that reservoir of trust may be crucial to salvaging and rebuilding that relationship."

Our screen faces the main living area and my wife and I sign our kids in with a password. Even so, they've all stumbled into porn sites or some other filth. All of their friends from 10 to 17 have their own computers in their rooms. The parents are clueless.
