Spying Eyes

Almost without exception, Spy-Ware deliberately hides inside the computer and works at avoiding detection. For example, the Aureate Spy-Ware system inhibits its Internet backchannel used in the absence of keyboard or mouse activity so that the user won't see modem lights flashing and wonder what the heck is going on. Since Spy-Ware is deliberately trying to go undetected, special tools are required to sense the presence of these sneaky spies.
