Very often spy software is confused with spyware - let's clear up the difference between them.
Spyware is also known as adware, Trojans, viruses. Spyware moves into computer without user permission and knowing at all. After spyware is gathering information about computer users without their knowledge. Spyware periodically sends the gathering information about your interests, often visited websites, personal information and so on to spyware creators. This information is sold to marketing companies and other interested parties. This is NOT that our spy software is doing.
Spy software or computer monitoring software monitors and records everything a user does on a computer but installed directly by its purchaser wish. Spy software can record every action that a user is doing on a computer - but nobody except the purchaser of the software see the report about these actions. This software can be absolutely invisible and nobody can detect it or contrary show to a monitored user a splash warning.
