From being paranoid to spioning

Is she cheating on you? What are your children hiding from you? Is there something you just have to know about your friends? Retina-X provides answers to all these paranoid questions.

Retina-X has recently released Mobile Spy, a program that records all the activity that goes on a mobile phone. This means that all data, numbers and call durations are stored for being later delivered to that which initiated it. This is not all, as all the SMS messages and their content are recorded to be later viewed through a PC-based viewer.

As interesting as it may seem, the program is actually capable of generating a plausible controverse. If you think of the questionable morality of resorting to such a program, this proves to be more than just a neat invention. Furthermore, in several countries such monitoring of personal information is illegal.

A similar program to Mobile Spy is FlexiSPY. This previously launched program encourages its users to check on their children and catch their deceitful spouses. On the front page of their site there is a statement of a man that has used FlexiSPY in order to catch her unfaithful wife and other such bitter situations presented in an apparently happy way: "Thanks FlexiSPY! I'm free again!" says the man after remembering the situation of his divorce. Intriguing statement coming from someone that had to go through such a painful experience. As serene as companies that provide such services might want to make their solutions seem, they fail to be understood by the less desperate people.

Even more, it's not the legal aspect that prevails when trying to decide whether such a program should be used or not. It's more of a morality matter, especially for those living in countries that do not consider such actions as being against the law. All in all, it is good to know that such a Mobile Spy exists and to take safety measures next time when you take care of all your dark secrets by phone.
