- PRUDENS ComSpy (tm) (32 bit) for Windows 3.x V3.0.0
- September 05, 1996
-
-
- A WINDOW TO WINDOWS 3.x or WINDOWS 95
- =====================================
-
- Who says system-wide hook is impossible in 32 bit environment.
-
- We have developed technology to install system-wide hooks (which can hook
- into any APIs directly), the technology to create share memory (allocate
- memory to share among any 32bit or 16bit application), and the technology
- to create patch patching into Windows KERNEL or ANY routines. All these
- technologies are used in any of our SPYs products. You may not see it
- visually but it is there ... Check all Windows 3x/95 SPYs out youself.
-
- ComSpy for Windows 3.x reports you the activities on your modem thru COM
- port APIs (such as: ReadComm, WriteComm, etc). You can also capture all
- data flowing in and any commands sending out by the programs like WinCim
- (the program you use to connect to CompuServe).
-
- Certainly you can use ComSpy to help to find out if your important gets
- stolen when you connect to outside world, to find out how your credit
- card or other information gets sent out (is the data encoded as expected),
- or to capture data to file and you can do anything to it.
-
-
- WHO NEEDS COMSPY
- ================
-
- Whoever has connected to outside thru your modem.
- If you suspect that vendors are doing something you don't like when you
- connect to them, get ComSpy capture all possible imformation for you.
