I can't believe they can get away with marketing trojans and promoting illegal activity like this. It's sad that you can buy a peice of software that will compeletly intrude on peoples' private activities. Hopefully all the anti-virus software out there will detect this.

    What the hell? I can't believe that this could be true. No reputable company would ever endorse something like this, it's completely illegal.

    Tech TV endorses modding Xboxes, etc, and copying games you rent, so its not really unbelievable from them.

    I keep my boyfriend locked in the house, and I put spyware on his computer and video cameras in his room, but he seems so distant, do you think he's cheating? Har har.

    Only non-harmful use I can see for this is for stalkers to send it to their favorite celebrities....oh wait.

    Amazing, everyones first question when they have a look is "Is this legal".

    Luckily they have a comprehensive "FAQ". Unfortunately the definition of a FAQ seems to have changed from Frequently Asked Questions to "Even MORE advertising"

    Haha, if you go to the demos section I guess their link for all the news stories that "raved" about them is broken.

    And yea, this stuff is illegal, but unfortunantly all the focus is on the o so illegal Kazaa. Makes you wonder if the governments priorities are EVER right... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe someone downloaded another entirely illegal and immoral program and used that to smash their site.

    All in the name of love and trust of course.

    Well... I'm not sure that would be slow and painful enough.

    Also you may notice that they only show women using this product, making it seem like men are the only ones that go out and cheat. The people who made this must be really pathetic...

    I can't actually find any reviews for the software on TechTV, good or bad, I don't have time to search the others before I goto work but I'm assuming what they mean is when they "our software has received rave reviews" is "viruses are reported on these websites"
    The disturbing thing is people will actually buy this rubbish in the belief that they are just "keeping an eye on things" when really they are breaking the trust of there loved ones as well as the law...

    Actually it is- mostly because the last time they saw something that did that, they got so **** off that they said on the air that "We hope that the programmer of this program rots in hell- its a complete waste of money, time, resources, and its complete BS to have something like this when Windows has its own"

    I wish I knew how to find window's one. Oh well.

    But ya, stuff like this is pretty common. And it being endorsed by PC Magazine- HA!!! ****. I've been reading that thing for 2 years now, and I've never seen a review for that in mag or on site. BALOGNA!

    With the recent story on HL2, I was reminded of this post; looks like the link is down, I'm not sure if it's permanent or not though.

    REJOICE!
