Anti-Keystroke-Logging Software
John C. Dvorak, Contributing Editor, PC Magazine
If your paranoia goes deeper, make sure to look at some
of the anti-keystroke-logging software. The best I've seen
so far is SpyCop, available online at www.AntiEspion.com.
It scours your system, looking for secret keystroke-logging
software. The like-named company also makes Evidence Terminator,
which routinely erases cookies and all sorts of files that
can be used to track your activities. Welcome to the Big
Brother centurywhen we can't trust our own computers anymore... |

Keep yourself top secret! How to defeat
spyware
David Coursey, Executive Editor, ZDNET AnchorDesk
...BUT TAKE HEART. You are not defenseless in the fight against
keystroke loggers. A program called SpyCop is designed specifically
to head off corporate spying programs, unlike antivirus and desktop
security programs that can capture only some spy programs. For $49.95
(sale price), it offers very inexpensive protection, and says it
can detect and defeat 181 different keystroke loggers. Its makers
also offer a version of SpyCop that includes Evidence Terminator,
a program that removes files from your PC that provide clues as
to your online habits and movements...

Are you being snooped? Is your every key entry and mouse click
recorded? There are more than 100 programs that can be used to monitor
your computer activities, but now you can out-snoop the spies by
using this program to ferret out hidden spy programs on your system.
Scan your entire system and get automatic updates to the spy program

applications.

SpyCop is (payware) software to detect spyware, but mainly todetect
and clean a personal system from these kind of computer activity
recording products, that could have been installed on your system
without your knowledge or approval. Spycop has a database of 175+
of such monitoring programs. It allows inspection, renaming suspect
files, save and print results. and comes with a LiveUpdate function
and detectable database. We have tested Spycop v3.0 using
a database of 50 monitoring programs; Spycop detected them all.
Keyboard Monitors Fuel Online Paranoia
By Becky Worley, Tech TV.com
SpyCop is a program that has a frequently updated list of key logger
programs. Use the simple user interface to scan your computer for
spy programs. Once scanned, SpyCop generates a simple report of
programs and suspicious files. It even scrambles any screenshots
of its interface that a monitoring program tries to capture.
As an added benefit, SpyCop will also search your computer for
spyware (a program that reports your Internet habits to companies
gathering demographic information).
I give SpyCop my unofficial thumbs up. It seems to be the easiest
and most effective way to find out if you are being monitored.
SPOT THE SPY !
Laptop Magazine
Computer interconnectivity has opened a world of possibilities,
and our lives are more convenient because of it. One trade-off,
however, is that it's now possible for prying eyes to monitor virtually
every action you take on your computer. SpyCop offers a way to monitor
the software that might be monitoring you.
The free version of SpyCop can be downloaded from the company's
Web site, and will scan your files for any trace of monitoring software.
It indicates which files allow others to spy on you, so you know
what to delete.
The corporate version, also available from the SpyCop Web site,
costs $69 (sale price) and not only spots the monitoring software
on your computer, but removes it for you. SpyCop is constantly updated
to offer fresh protection against the latest spyware innovations.
SpyCop is intended for Windows 95, 98, and Me, and requires a 486
or faster processor. 16MB of memory is also required, although 32MB
or more is recommended.
SpyCop Reveals All
Info Security News & SC Magazine
SpyCop has developed an anti-surveillance package of the same name
that counters so-called spy software.
Such software, the firm claims, is inserted on to a PC's hard disk
using an executable attachment along with a carrier email. Once
installed, the firm says that the software is very difficult to
detect, even with existing IT security applications.
In use, the package will scan any PC-based computer for surveillance
software and will alert computer owners if they are being spied
upon.
The Delaware, US-based company says that SpyCop uses a brute force
scanning system that examines all files, hidden or otherwise, for
computer monitoring software.
Computer Spyware
I-team reporter Ward Lucas, 9News.com
The ad for 'SPECTOR SOFT' software promises that you can automatically
record everything your spouse, children or employees do online.
In fact, that's a massive understatment. The $69 (Retail price for
HE) program works like a movie camera taking continuous snapshots
of your victim's screen, logging each move. Then, the program actually
emails you every word your victim has typed. It's sold by a company
in Vero Beach, Florida. It is also called "spyware" and "adulteryware".
Spector Soft President, Doug Fowler, says his product is extremely
effective at catching the cheating spouse in the act.
The spyware has led to another phenomenon, anti-spyware. Our I-team
is testing one such program, called 'Spycop'. It claims it can ferret
out snoopware or adulteryware, and clean it off your harddrive.
