My neighbor would like to know if someone installs a program to spy on him...baiscly record everything he does on the computer....how can he figure out that there is a program running to do this? is there something like ad-aware that would tell me? 😕
 
anyone? isint there some kinda program that would alert you ...or give you notice/warning that a program was running to spy on you?
 
You could install a firewall like ZoneAlarm that would alert him if the spyware tried to send data through the Internet (unless it disguises itself in IE or something). Antivirus programs should catch some as well.

Of course, if you could easily detect them, they wouldn't be very useful spy programs now would they 😛
 
Well what you describe is like a trojan. Antivirus software should take care of that, zone alarm would help but it's not 100% effective because I know how to get around it.
