First off hello to whoever may read this. I am new to forum posting so forgive me if i am in the wrong section for this topic.
A good friend of my familys enjoys nothing more than a good old chat on MSM with myself and my daughters, we are spread from here to Germany. The trouble is she has a very possessive partner who hates chatting to anyone online. He has found out about programs that spy on MSN chat and has said he is going to use one. I have no idea what these programs are or what they do, but my question is can anything be done to stop such a program working ?
I would appreciate any suggestions,
Thank you
Hi,
A good start would be to scan the computer with CounterSpy and SpySweeper. And yes, all spy software can be stopped and blocked, depending on the level of expertise of the user and if not, the only way is to relied on Anti-spy software, which does not provide 100% protection.
