Anyway, if my couple, named bf, husband or whatever I might have in the future, dares to look at my conversations (even if I am stupid enough to let them stored in my HD), then I will feel invaded in my privacy…but, hey, if you are ok with it…whatever.
N.-Semi-off topic, but I’ve had my sister read (at least) one of my chats. I work with my parents and she and my nephew came by the office one Monday. I had to bring my dad home, and while I was away she read my chat. I didn’t find out until a day or two later when my mom told me about it, but you can bet your axx that I was extremely mad at my sister. Since then I always lock the computer when I leave, even if it’s only for a few minutes, so nobody can read what I’ve been doing.
IMO, reading someone else’s chats is the same as reading someone’s emails or mail. If it’s a personal chat, such as the one my sister read, it’s even worse and could be compared to reading someone’s diary.

this is not a shared computer. She installed eblaster on it once and I ran Spybot on it and thought it had removed it.The box u told me to check on is indeed unchecked. She seems to be getting it off the net somehow.I took my pute to a profesional that deals with these issues and 150 bucks later he claims there is no spyware at all. She seems to be getting them in her e-mails somehow………and ideas?Ok, there are new spy software that claims to be undetectable to anti-spy apps, such as http://www.1spysoftware.com/spybuddy.shtml , and it definitelly can be configured to send you the resoults by e-mail, so you don´t ever have to go on that PC again to check the resoults
This is the only option I find, she really payed for a very good spy software, difficult to detect, and you payed for an expert that charges too much and does not work enough, do you know if he did something aside from running an anti spy application (they claim these apps don´t interfere the spy software)?
what you should do, starting for today is install a personal firewall (try Seagate, Personal Firewall, i.e.), that will ask you everytime an application tryes to connect with any place outside your computer(for example when it goes to send her the email), so, even if the spy software´s name is encrypted and runs with a system-like name, you can catch when the e-mail is going to be send and stop it.
This is the only advice I can give you. That and tell you that you have the right to ask for privacy, even if you are married spying is not right, and it is even worse when it is done by someone you trust.
N.-If you can’t find anything weird going on by installing a firewall, you could take drastic measures and format your hard drive(s) to make sure that if there was anything installed that was used for spying on you is gone.
Aside from the measures you can take to find and/or stop the spy software, I’d also confront your wife and ask her why she’s spying on you. If she wants to know what you chat about and with who, all she has to do is ask, right?
Last but not least, there’s the issue as to whether or not you should try to lock the computer so she can’t get into it anymore. Part of me says “no, it’ll only make her more suspicious” but on the other hand I also think “why not make it a little harder for her to spy?”
Okay, truly the last thing I want to say/ask: what kind of relationship are you in where your wife is spying on you?
ok 1. do not reformat your computer. you will loose everything you have gatehred unless you save ALL of it to a disk which, depending on how much you have, could take hours. just go to start>control panel>add remove programs. look in there for anything that looks like it should not be there. or either download spybot search&destroy. they have done alot of upgrading to their program and it detects most spyware.
2. thats gettin a lil nosey there sorry to say. i mean that’s their buisiness, not something for the whole forum to see.
3. limit the access. that way both of you can be happy.
Just a quick reply to explain what broku seems to have misunderstood:
First of all, I said ibuild4me could take drastic measures and format the hard disk. Of course that takes a lot of work in most cases, but it’s an option that should not be overlooked (although also not used until you don’t have any other options).The last thing I said in my last reply was meant as something ibuild4me should ask himself rather than for him to answer on these forums.

These programs don´t show on the add/remove programs. Anyway, that is clearly indicated at the specs website I gave before, If is that you read it before posting…which I assume you did. And I already asked him to look at his task manager (before I read that that was useless with this kind of new spysoftware)
Quote:quote:2. thats gettin a lil nosey there sorry to say. i mean that’s their buisiness, not something for the whole forum to see.Ehem…this comment is completely off topic
And…if you read…he took his computer to an expert that we all hope run the latest spybot version.
Well I did all u suggested short of re-formatting. I saw nothing in task manager that shold not be there.I have Norton Internet security as a firewall.I have Norton anti-virus enabled.I have Zone Labs installed and running and I have spybot installed and scan everytime I am on it and I download all regualarly for updates. I have installed an adminstrators pasword u ned even b4 it boots.And btw I am doing nothing in-appropriate on the net.I just have a thing about my privacy no matter who/what invades it………..andy further suggestions?
I believe the Common Client CC App (ccapp.exe) is something installed by Norton AntiVirus, so that’s nothing to worry about.
Okay so….
It appears that we’ve come full circle with some of these answers. FrutZle starts out by stating that a firewall proggy will detect and inform the user of spy activity…. then seems to rescind the statement with further posts.Can a good firewall detect spyware activity or not?
so anyone else can offer an opinion ?
wat are the chances of me being spyed on in the webcam conversation
while having only win XP firewall on …?
