    Is it possible to remotely install spyware on somebody else's computer?

    It is.

    If you are asking because you think you are the victim of such, please follow these instructions: READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    I do need to mention, though, since you did not say why you were asking, that Major Geeks will not aid people in doing such things and it is, in fact, against the rules of the forum.

    LauraR,

    Thank you. I am asking because I think that I am being spied on, as well as my fiance. Do you need extraordinary computer skills to do this or can anyone do it (i.e. an individual from home)? If it is there, is there any way to track who is collecting the information?

    Thank you.

    The removal procedures are written so a novice may follow them. They do take a bit of time, but everything is spelled out. If you follow them in order and do exactly as it says starting from the beginning, you will have no problems at all.:)

    As far as I know, there isn't a way to track who installed the malware.

    Once you have completed the guide, start a New Thread in the Malware Removal Forum. In that thread, you will post the logs that are asked for. If your fiance decides to run the procedure, a separate thread will need to be started for the other computer. We have experts in the Malware forum. One of them will aid you once the logs are posted.

    After rereading, I mistook your question. You were asking about the skill as far as installing the keylogger?

    They can come through mail attachments, infected websites, file sharing websites, etc.

    Thanks LauraR. Actually I was wondering if any ordinary person could remotely install the keylogging/computer monitoring. I know this person has done it twice before to another computer that she had access to, in person, with purchased software, but I didn't know if there is any software that you can purchase to be able to install it on somebody else's computer remotely.
