snoopware
Software that keeps track of a user's activity on the computer. Used for monitoring employees, children and spouses, snoopware can run in an undetectable stealth mode that records keystrokes and snapshots of the screen. The snoopware may send routine emails to the eavesdropper, thus eliminating the need to inspect the snoopware logs at the computer. See keystroke logger, spyware and wares.Copyright © 1981-2019 by The Computer Language Company Inc. All Rights reserved. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.
