How long Have Spyware Programs Been Around?
The use of spy software over a larger demographic is somewhat of a recent phenomenon. There were keyloggers and the likes in the early computing days of DOS, but nothing nearly as powerful or intrusive as the spyware available today. More and more people are using spy programs to spy on each other's computer usage...in fact, computer spying has become somewhat of a trend even amongst those who would find the information they are gathering rather useless for their own benefit. In other words, you might find more and more of this going on just for the sake of doing it?!?Spyware programs advertised as software to keep your child's Internet activities in check are also being used by spouses and bosses. Some companies are advertising that their software can be useful for catching your spouse cheating online. The scary part of this is that companies advertising spyware in this manner are making the largest number of sales! Interesting to say the least.

Spy software itself is legal and in its' essence it it legal to use.(for the purpose that it is usually being sold) It is perfectly legal for an business owner to install this spyware on computers they own and it is legal to install spy software on a computer with the owner's consent.It is, however illegal for a person to install spy software on another person's computer without permission. Despite this, illegal spy software installation occurs quite frequently in the real world as of yet. Our first step to combatting spyware is to use spyware scanners, finding the culprits; and then gradually stiffen up our legal system to make people with prying eyes pay as they would if they were to break into our homes and spy for example.
