There are talks regarding the symbian spy software on relation to whether it is a malware or a Trojan. This is because people doubt if this is being put to misuse. There are major factors that tell the Symbian spy software apart from the other entire virus that is available.

The first important thing about the symbian spy software is that it does not require any sort of anti virus products to remove it from a particular phone on which it is installed. There is an uninstall option that is provided which can be used. It is because this works in the stealth mode and people are not being able to see what happening feel that this is malware. But the whole idea behind the symbian spy software is attributed to its stealth functioning.

Another main reason is that the symbian spy software does not replicate and spread. It requires complete human intervention to get things working. There is a user name and password that is generated at the time of purchase and only after you make the payment is the download link available to you and this is done through a series of digits that is entered on the screen.

It is not at all considered illegal because most of the time this is purchased by disturbed parents, employers etc who consider their child’s safety and also to bring to light the employee’s dishonesty as well respectively.

The working of the symbian spy software is very simple as all it does is run in the background recording all that is happening with the phone. These recorded details which includes sms logs, call logs, location monitoring and website logs etc are all sent over the GPRS to the server of the provider from where it is transferred onto your account and you can view it always. With this huge progress in technology, it is quite unbelievable how there is so much use with this especially in the case of kids because as parents we want to make sure that they are safe.
