Spyware

Dear drwilsontwo:

Greetings. Yes, your spyware may be illegal. We are not simply talking about misdemeanor illegal, but in violation of the federal wiretapping law. My advice is to remove the software and only use the evidence your PI gets (unless you are in court and decide to subpoena her e-mail records). Best of luck.

Could I really be prosecuted for that? I was just trying to protect my domain and marriage so to speak. I wanted to make sure someone wasn’t aggressively pursuing my wife.

Dear drwilsontwo:

Yes, you could be prosecuted. Truly, I don’t quite believe you … I think you had it on your computer to get more evidence on your wife, but I am just one skeptical attorney … and I am sure the United States Attorney will be less skeptical, don’t you? Okay, all sarcasm aside, YES you can be prosecuted, so remove it or have your attorney do the research for you. Best of luck.

Who prosucutes people that use spayware??? My best friend discovered by accident today when her computer locked up that he husband has spytech recording her keystrokes and every thing.

Who do you call to report this is it is a felony?

Dear OCD:

Greetings. You would contact either the district attorney in the county you live for the United States Attorney. Remember though that both have “bigger” things to do and the implication of calling them may be more beneficial to you then the actual call. Thank you.

what about emails discovered on a “family” email adress. i was deleting emails and found some to and from him and another woman.
also, is it ok to have a fake profile and send emails to him? can i use those against him?

Dear carstin:

Greetings. Yes, the family e-mails will work. However, trapping your spouse with a fake profile is probably not that helpful to you. Your spouse can always say they knew it was you. Also, I cannot imagine that entrapment is a good idea. Thank you.

Is it legal to have spyware on the computer and then use it in court? I have determined from this software that my wife has engaged in serious discussions about MARRYING another man, all while we are still married. We haven’t even had mediation yet! It’s almost hard to believe but she has already convinced him of a wedding date for sometime in late 2005 in Cancun.
