Answer #1

Hi,

Here are some signs of computer monitoring surveillance spyware.

Your computer has started to run slower. In Windows XP launching the task manager and clicking on the “PERFORMANCE” tab reveals that your system is running using 100% of its CPU cycle by an unknown program

Your hard drive space is being used up or you get a message that your virtual memory is low

Someone “accidentally” spilled something in your keyboard and replaced it with a new one

You find a small cylindrical piece of hardware attached to the keyboard cable on the back of your computer

When you try to run an anti monitoring spyware program it won’t run, crashes and/or shuts your computer down giving an error message
