I just purchased a stealth ibot from Brickhouse security but have seen alot of people on here talking about eblaster. I am thinking about sending the ibot back and purchasing the eblaster instead. I have looked at the site for the eblaster and it looks good. I am just worried about detection.

Anyone have any issues with eblaster or any experience with eblaster that they would like to share with me? I will have the opportunity Friday to put either the ibot or eblaster on the computer as my husband will be on 24 hour duty and will not be home.

My XH is a computer programmer.. I put Eblaster on his computer and it is how I discovered his affair...and so so much more.

It was on there for about 12 weeks weeks...6 weeks of which was AFTER he was removed from our home by court order after I confronted him about the affair. (I convinced him I found out about the affair from another source). So even after he was across town in an apt, I was watching every thing he did and said on line. I got soooo much info and evidence that way. I finally confronted him with my full evidence and the look on his face when he realized I had been monitoring his every move...priceless. In the end, even though he KNEW it was on there...he couldn't find it. He asked me to come over and take it off for him.

So yeah, I have faith in Eblaster. Best $100 I ever spent.

I concur with SmilingWoman. eblaster rocks. I have never known of anyone who found it. The only problem I have ever heard of was it being disabled by a very sophisticated antivirus program. But even that was easily overcome by re-installing it and then programming the AV to ignore it.

Spectorsoft has 2 keyloggers, eblaster that emails you reports or spectorpro that does not. If you have daily access to the computer in question, you can get spectorpro, if you want to just acess the computer once and be done with it, you should go with eblaster.

Great, thank you both for your input. I think I am going to go with eblaster and return the ibot. I just don't want this device found. we have avast on our computer and my husband is really computer savvy.

So was XH...hee hee...my friends and family think it is HYSTERICAL he was busted by a computer program.

I have decided to go ahead and send the Stealth iBot back and purchase the eBlaster. My next question is this, do I have to be on the target computer to order it? I am at work and was going to purchase while I am here and put it on the home computer when I have access to it this weekend. I have already set up a dummy email address for this purpose.

Those who have purchased this product, I would love you input on this. Is it best to wait to purchase until I have access to the target computer? Thanks in advance for any advise or information.

No, not to purchase it. The download comes to you in an email, so you can open that anywhere.

You need to be on the target computer to install it, having first opened the email account containing the download link.

You will have to install it while on the target computer. Spectorsoft will send you a link on your dummy email to use to install it.

You can buy it now. It will sit on your email until you're ready to put it on the target computer. When you're ready to install it, get on that computer and access your email to get the installation link.

Figure on about 10-15 minutes to get it on there.

Great, thanks so much for the info. That is what I figured but I wanted to be totally sure before I did it. I will have the computer to myself Friday night and will be able to load it on the home computer then. I think I read somewhere that I need to disable my virus software (Avast), so I need to figure out how to do that.

When you're done, do something on the computer - email someone, or check your FB if you have an account. Then log on to that dummy email account to make sure it caught it.

Make sure that payment or the eblaster does not appear on a bank or credit card statement that your H has access to. If necessary, buy a pre-paid credit card and use that to pay online.

Make sure that your H has no knowledge of the email account that you will use to receive the eblaster reports. Set up a new account and tell him nothing of this.

I've used eblaster with Avast and it does fine. They will send you an email with a download link and instructions on installing it. It will tell you how to add the excluded files to the Avast program. You'll also need to do it with Windows Defender.

Disable both prior to installing the program and then run scans after the install to see if it catches them. If you put the excluded file list in, it should ignore it. Here's a post I did for someone else, it would apply to eblaster.

One thing I was not expecting with Eblaster is they also sent me a disk in the mail! I got it out of the mail but if XH had found it my snooping would have been ruined. So if you can use an alternate address when you order it maybe it won't ship to your house.

I have never heard of that happening. ouch! I wonder how they got your home address? I have used this program off and on for years and have never had that happen.

SW, did you inadvertently ask for a download disk? They do give that option. You may have clicked to have a disk sent, as well. They probably got your mailing info when you gave them your billing address for your credit card.

That is probably what I did. I was not in my right mind at that time. I can still remember the sheer terror I felt installing it on his computer.

Totally understandable under the circumstances!

SmilingWoman,

I understand the terror you felt installing this on the computer. I had the opportunity this morning to do it, my husband left the house an hour and a half before I had to get up. I am so nervous about putting eblaster on the computer, I did not do it this morning because I am terrified that he will find it. He will be gone Friday due to work and will not be home until Saturday so I am planning on installing it Friday night. I am just so scared. He works with computers and is very savvy, his job is working on electronics so he is very knowlegable with computers. Wish me luck!!

Slap that puppy on there, EMF. You'll be fine!

The thing you need to be careful about is tipping your hand to him if you find something. You've got to put on a great performance and act toward him like you know nothing. Bring it here so we can help you with what you find.

I will do it on Friday night, I just chickened out this morning and got scared. Not scared of what I would find but of being caught spying on him. I agree with you that I have to be careful so he doesn't know if/when I find something. My biggest problem through all of this is that I blew up everytime I found the tiniest evidence that he was doing something secretive on the internet and so he would stop for a while and then start back up. I know now that I have to be strong and put on an act. I will post back here when I do find anything so that I can get advice and help from you guys here on the forum. Thanks all of you for the encouragement that I have received thus far.

I know exactly how you feel. My XH is a computer programmer and he didn't find it. In fact, even AFTER D day he didn't know it was there. It took an extreme act of will to not tip my hand to the crap I was finding daily...but the pay off was I had about 10 weeks worth of hard evidence which included 2 OW, proof he had an affair 7 years earlier, the extent of his porn use and other conversations with people letting me know he was living a double life. That overwhelming physical evidence is what gave me the strength to tell him 'Enough. I will never take you back.'

As I've said before even after I presented him with the evidence he couldn't get it off his computer. I had a few fun evenings 'watching' (from my house across town) him try. He finally asked me to remove it.

Just wanted to update those who have given me advice. I did install the eblaster on our home computer on Friday night. Wow, that thing is amazing, I wished I had found that long before now. So far, no secret email log in or anything else out of the ordinary for my husband. I feel so much better now that I have actually installed it. I truly hope this is something that stays hidden and he does not discover it.

Excellent! PEACE OF MIND!

Bumping for zouzouni. Does this help at all?

no help at all. My husband has spybot search and destroy. The eblaster is clearly listed in the settings. I have watched him check settings and run the program just about every other day.

I put in refog and both avast and spybot found it.

I tried to put in Powered Keylogger and it doesn't work with Windows 7... I need some peace. He has me believing that he is not doing anything but I KNOW that can't be true.

So eblaster files are shown on the "exceptions" list and he's then figuring out that it's installed, correct?


People with nothing to hide tend to not get upset. I don't know your story, but am sure others will advise on what your next steps should be so that you can find that peace and leave the drama behind if he refuses to knock it off.

Northwood, I'm glad you came to this thread. I have been talking to zz on her thread in SaA, but I have no idea how to answer the questions about the eblaster.

If the eblaster has indeed been installed, then zz must be disabling it herself while she continues testing it, until she is sure it is undiscoverable. zz is terrified of the installation being discovered because her H has been physically abusive in the past. She is an American living in a part of Europe that seems to be rural and traditional. The police don't seem to follow any rules so she does not seem to be protected by the law very well.

Her H hasn't discovered the eblaster, but he is very savvy and she is certain that he will discover it. She seems to have tried to disable the anti-virus programme but that seems not to work. Have you any idea how to stop this particular kind of anti-virus programme from discovering it?

When installing eblaster, Windows Defender and any antivirus programs should be turned off. During the installation, eblaster gives you a list of a dozen or so files that you must enter into your antivirus so that the program isn't detected.

Avast and Windows Defender both have settings where you input the list of excluded files. I don't recall AdAware catching eblaster, or spybot finding it, either.

Unfortunately, those tech savy folks can easily pull up their antivirus and see if a bunch of files are shown in the exclusions list and, by deleting them and running the antivirus, can detect the keylogger.

As she's probably discovered, turning off the antivirus permanently triggers the annoying Windows alarms alerting the user of the situation.

Going solely by what you told me, though, I'd forego the keylogger if he's going to such great lengths to detect it and just get out of the abusive situation entirely. Sometimes you don't need to know everything about a situation to know that it's time to bail.

A quick google search of "American living overseas in abusive relationship" turned up this...

I installed eblaster on DH's laptop this past Friday afternoon and it works like a charm IF I do the playback on his laptop (his laptop is not password protected so far). I got up in the middle of the night to check it and saw everywhere he'd gone since Friday evening. Googling possible OW's name and porn sites.

Has anyone run into this problem.....I can use the "hot keys" on his laptop (ctrl+alt+shift+s) to logon and see the sites he's visited on the internet. However, I'm not getting any email from SpectorPro and would rather be able to see the information that way than to have to logon to his laptop. Getting up in the middle of the night is going to get old and I'm exhausted today. Thanks in advance.

When you install eblaster, it asks you where you want the reports sent. Go back into the eblaster control panel and go to "report delivery." Click the "on" button and enter your email address. You can also select how frequently you want the reports sent.

Also go to the "record" tab and select "yes" in the "record chat/im" activity.

Once you have done this, go to the "status" tab and select "send a current eblaster report" to test it.

Select "yes" for everything.

It's quite possible that you had "no" selected for email reports. I think "no" might be the default position for all your choices (if memory serves).

Play around with all the settings and options on the different pages. Something is switched off somewhere.

Thanks MelodyLane and SugarCane, I will check into all you mentioned!

If you still aren't getting reports, contact Spectorpro and see what they say. If memory serves, their response time for questions was reasonable.

WhatIsNext, eblaster should be emailing reports to you at the email address you select. You shouldn't have to get up in the middle of the night and have to access his computer. Check your settings. My eblaster sends reports to my email anytime there is activity on the keylogged computer. I can see those reports on my own computer. No accessing the target computer is necessary.

I'm getting keyword alerts via email, set that up this morning. So I know email is getting to me from eblaster. I'll have a chance to look again tomorrow to check on what MelodyLane posted earlier in this thread. I thought I had it all set up but apparently not if all I'm receiving is the keyword alerts. Hopefully I'll only have to access his laptop one more time.

It sounds like you need to change your preferences. You don't need to access your H's computer to do that. You can change preferences on the email the reports are being sent to.

I should apologize, in my rush to get everything installed on DH's laptop, I purchased the wrong program; SpectorPro instead of eBlaster. SpectorPro surely does a good job of monitoring his activities but there is no way to get emailed reports. This morning I installed eblaster and now have everything set-up and have set up my email preferences....and correctly, I might add. Have also done the test email.

DH is very NOT tech savvy and has no idea either program is installed on his computer. However, yesterday when I was checking the other program, for whatever reason I selected 'hibernate' instead of 'shut down' when I was done with his laptop. Apparently he goes through the control panel to manually log onto the internet every time he gets on his computer. Selecting hibernate did not logoff the internet (from when I was on there) and when he came home later he asked me if I'd been on his computer because the internet was already logged on. I played it off well, blamed it on having to restart the router, and he seems to not suspect anything.

At any rate, I guess it's worthwhile to pay attention to their other habits while on the computer so they don't suspect you've been on there at all for any reason (for those who don't share a computer). Now that I've got things straight and am now using the correct program, I should not have to be on his laptop at all anymore. For which I am very thankful! Being on his laptop always freaked me out since his schedule varies a bit more than mine does, at least on some days.....never know when he might come home early or whatever.

I'm disappointed DH has put our marriage in a position where I have to use a program like this (would rather not have to snoop, have trust issues, etc) but it's a good thing these programs exist. Sure puts one's mind at ease.

Thanks to all for your input!

is there an eblaster for the Iphone 4?

Does eblaster need a reboot in order to complete the install? I would like to get this on my husband's computer but I don't know his password. There is a good chance he'll leave it open at some point, but if I need to reboot I won't be able to log on again. Thanks!

G
It works just fine without a reboot as far as I can remember. But even if it does, the program would just start up the next time he reboots. Ad if he doesn't reboot on a regular basis, you could accidentally loosen the ac cord so the computer goes dead and he has to start it up.

Thanks MelodyLane! So I assume if it rebooted and then restarted when he logged on next, there wouldn't be any messages coming up to let him know it was there?

It runs in the background so he will not be able to detect it. You can reboot yourself and test it so you can see. I have had to reboot many times and it doesn't show.

Thanks BrainHurts!

You're welcome. Would you like to start your own thread so we may help?

Thanks, I may do that but would like to have a better idea of what I am dealing with first. I think he may be back in touch with his former EA partner, or maybe just cyberstalking her. Hoping eblaster will help!

It will. It will give you screen shots, passwords and everything he types.

What about his phone? Do you have spyware on his phone?

Not yet, but that is also in the plans.

Ok good.

Hi everyone!

Since a lot of people have iPhones this days, I want to share about a program I used to find out about the texts and pics that he was deleting. It is an iTunes data recovery program that has to be installed in the computer where the person that you want to spy on backs up their iPhone. The program is called Wondershare. Once you download it, you open it and you can use the " Free Trial" and if you are insterested then you can buy the full program. But I can tell you that I didn't have to buy the full version. The trial allowed me to read all the texts and pics, and for me that was enough. I hope this can help someone in their quest for answers, I know I found out what I needed
