Some of you may have noticed a new advert on my site for SnoopStick. I’ve just clicked through to have a nosey at SnoopStick and I think it’s an interesting concept. SnoopStick provides software on a USB key that once inserted into a PC can install secret monitoring systems within 60 seconds. These monitoring systems allow you to not only secretly monitor in real-time usage on that PC, it also allows one to enable or disable Internet access.
SnoopStick could come in handy if you have kids and you want to keep an discreet eye on what they are doing, but the service could quite easily be abused e.g. you could insert the SnoopStick in your partner’s PC to keep an eye on what they are doing.
Would you ever use a service like SnoopStick or have you used a similar service in the past?
