Ive had some similar programs and they work. quite funny when you can completely control someone else's computer. you just need the Ip adress and most of the time have to send them a little server file. It is possible though.

At our company, we tried this software out. We paid for 1 copy of it. It stopped working after 2 days. We tried to get technical support and could not obtain it. It took over a month to get our money back. The company that handled the $ transaction for ispynow could not even reach them! These people are scammers. The refund came from the transaction company, not ispynow. I wouldn't pay these people a dime, beware!

Man finally someone who went throught the same problem as me. Although it never worked for me. And there is NO technical support. I got the CEO of the companys email address and let him have it. Man is that ever a joke.

Moottank, what was the programs that you have had good luck with. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the place is a joke. Like you said, NO technical support whatsoever. I would also be interested to hear what better products are out there.

I hope you all realise that what you are indeed talking about are Trojans. Something highly illegal. Yes they are easy to get and sometimes use, if you find someone stupid enough in this day and age to not have some type of firewall set up. The risks involved with using such a program nowadays far outweigh the fun or advantage of hacking someone's computer. You wonder why that company is not answering or legitimate??? Because It's Illegal!! That being said, choose your path wisely, if you don't know what you are doing fully,, don't do it. Leave it those that do know how to circumvent Norton and Zone Alarm and other such swiss cheese defenses. There are hefty fines and jail time involved with these offenses. It is a Federal Offense. They were a blast ten years ago, now they are trouble for the non-programmer/hacker.

It all depends on how you use the software. If you use it maliciously, of course it is illegal. Our company uses the software to track if employees sit on the net all day wasting time. I don't necessarily agree with spying on others here at work, but I am told to do so.. and they are work owned PC's. A little personal web surfing here and there is tolerated, but it's the abusers we go after.. the ones that sit hours after hours surfing and not getting any work done.

By no means am I or anyone else here at our office stupid enough to plant this on computers outside our network or spread it around.

Exactly, 1970, to use this kind of software in a company on their own computers is completely legal. Within their own network. I wasn't referring to that type of use.

This type of software is also used by people who may want to "Spy" on their kids or spouse.. (I could never do that!)

There are many other software packages out there that do the same thing as ispynow..

Yeah, exactly grapegravy, this kind of software has it's legal legitimate uses.. like the kind my company requires (and many others that have similar problems). If someone were planning on finding unprotected computers on the internet and running it, well then thats a different story. Kind of like a gun. It's perfectly legal to take one and use it at a shooting range.. but use it to hold up a bank, well...

I don't understand what's so hard about just checking the history on the computer, even if the person clears it, all the OS's up to ME have the option to save a copy. Don't know about XP, and hopefully I will never have to
