A frantic email from a woman in Texas kept Trapware
support technicians up late trying to help her eradicate a snooper
from her system.
|
I need your assistance immediately PLEASE.
I downloaded your trial version of Snoop Detecter. My ex-boyfriend
installed STARR 007 on my computer. I can't seem to remove it.
Please tell me how. Send me an email to . . . . Thank you very
much!!!

| She had wondered if
someone might be monitoring her home computer. A friend who specializes
in surveillance and is a private investigator recommended that she
check her system using Who's Watching Me. Within a few minutes of
going to Trapware's web site to obtain Who's Watching Me she had discovered
a piece of spyware, the STARR snooper, on her system. She quickly
emailed Trapware for support in removing the snooper from her system. |
| She suspects that her
ex-boyfriend had installed the spyware when he was helping her with
a computer problem. Her computer had been running slowly and would
sometimes crash altogether. The ex-boyfriend offered to take a look
at it and see if he could help. While he was "helping" her,
he secretly installed the STARR snooper |
| The STARR snooper is
developed and sold by iOpus Software
GmbH headquartered in Germany. The STARR snooper allows someone to
monitor your computer use by taking screenshots, logging keystrokes,
logging programs used, logging both sides of a chat conversation,
etc. The STARR snooper also can be installed in stealth or invisible
mode so that the user has no idea the snooper is installed on his
or her computer. The STARR control panel is shown below: |
|
|
| With the STARR snooper
installed, the ex-boyfriend had obtained her email password and had
been accessing her email. After she got the snooper uninstalled from
her system, she quickly changed the password to her email account
so that he could no longer access her email. |
| Thanks to Who's Watching
Me ("WWM"), this user in Texas discovered that she was being
watched on her home computer. Who's Watching Me ("WWM")
scans a user's computer system for snoopers, sometimes referred to
as spyware, keyloggers, keystroke recorders and/or activity monitors

I live in Dallas, Texas. I used Who's Watching
Me to check my home computer for spyware and discovered that someone
had installed the 007 STARR snooper on my computer. It was my
ex-boyfriend. I had no idea that someone was watching my every
move on my own computer. After using Who's Watching Me I knew
someone had bugged my computer. Thank you Trapware.
