win-spy

[mizhart]

A less than gentlemanly friend from out of town has installed win-spy in my
computer. He was too cheap to buy the premium and so the shareware or
freeware has it's little icon on my screen. with this program he can get my
passwords and read my email and chats remotely. HOW can I uninstall this?
He doesn't know that I know it is my computer. I have changed my yahoo
account and password, and also deleted the host32.exe file in the registry
which should make it at least more difficult for him if not stop him,
Needless to say the relationship is over. How can I get ride of everything
related to win-spy

Is there more they one WinSpy? I have found Win-Spy, Win Spy, and WinSpy.
The one at hxxp://www.catch22.net/software/winspy.asp looks like it could
be legit.
I haven't had any experience with any of them as yet but this thread
sparked my interest.
