A study conducted by Privacy Foundation in the US has found that 15% of the US workers with Internet access have their e-mail monitored systematically and 19% have their Web surfing continuously tracked. Worldwide, the figure for online workers being monitored stands at more than 28 million, which constitutes nearly 28% of the total workforce. American Management Association has released a fact that US firms and companies record and review employee phone calls, email, Internet connexions and computer files! There is an easy way to snoop into accounts, hard disks or records and find out the truth about Anyone. Each and every activity in a grim corner of your room is watched and Bang, you realize that your PC is monitored! Once a snoopware software like the Net Detective 2001 is installed, a detailed report is given to the email id specified. It records the websites visited, chat conversations held, applications launched and keys struck.

Mistrust in families and employees has resulted in selling of these Snoopwares and young generation indulge into fun entering into privacy to sneak into the PC activities and secret lifestyles of others. These softwares perform a series of activities from snooping into PC habits to untraceable phone calls or check driving or criminal records too. Government agencies and corporations use to track employee computer use, companies use to make sure employees aren’t downloading non recommended sites or wasting work hours engaged in chatting or surfing such stuff. Sneaking young generation set up such tools for fun which is also compactible with MSN, yahoo, icq and aol and other web site based chat sites, java script chat and while message is being exchanged, these software take snapshots to send reports to the given email id later. Its use is spreading rapidly in the corporate world but its use raises issues like privacy and free speech rights in relation to technology. Mistrust is noted in Employers and netizens who use these snoopwares. As Indian cyber laws remained silent on issue of privacy of netizen and installing snoopwares, Article 21 of Indian Constitution now has the provision of privacy into the life of others and any person snooping into their privacy is taken to task. According to eminent cyber law expert, Pavan Duggal, if one is a state employee, he can see refuge from violation of privacy under Article 32 of the Constitution. Hence, its worth discussing around with employees instead of the snoopwares as far as company using the software. Whereas there is a high risk to sensitive data and emotional privacy of a person when a cyber sneaker hacks into the privacy of others accounts and this is totally inhuman and security is at stake. You may never know when someone is clandestinely observing every keystroke you make! If you are at cyber cafes, someone might steal ur passwords too. Look before you Leap! Risk of your activity online is at stake. These snoopware packages are available from 60$ to 100 $ and they range from Net detective 2001, Insight, winwhatwhere Investigator or Spectorsoft’s eblaster. These snoopwares have more minus than plus as they indulge into tedious nagging free entries into others privacy and specifically, this leads to mistrust in every way and malicious kind of activity for a common netizen who live in a reality world and explore the web like a dreamy world out into the new horizons where the sky is limit. Its only the Earth that is very beautiful, afterall where one lives in sheer Reality and that’s the whole and real truth! So, beware, you are watched or you can be a Detective too on the cyber run.

This article is to bring awareness to people who secure their passwords and clandestinely visit websites or speak lies on the net. Just about anything! You are watched someday! God sees everything, afterall. – subinhtcc (Cyber Patrol Team Crew, Msn-Talkcity Homepages.
