How to determine if Spector Pro Spyware is running on my computer? Donna 05-18-08

I found a receipt in my husband's credit card bill for something I think
might be something called Spectre Pro Spyware wireless keylogger.

I presume the software must "phone home" somehow the keylogging activity.

Is there any way, perhaps by looking at network activity, that I can tell
if my husband bought it for use on my winxp computer?

Dear, Dear, Dear - you don't trust him - he doesn't trust you
.....suggest the answer lies not in the Software - but in a heart to
heart talk?

.or even a Marriage Guidance Counsellor ...

best wishes for the future

It is all suspicions but anyway;

To elminate keyloggers, download and install "Spybot search and
destroy" to scan your system.
To sniff network activities, download and install "Ethereal"

For other issues above, Ask Dr. Phil http://www.drphil.com ....!!

all the best.

A lot of people still believe in scanning. Quite sad. Even further,
considering what Spybot S&D claims about a provably clean and secured
system, it would be even more useless on a surely infected system.

But what qualification of security expertise should we expect from someone
who's abusing MSIE as a webbrowser...
