Companies have the legal right to monitor employees’e-mail and instant messaging. Many do, whether they warn their workers or not. Last monty the University of Tennessee released the e-mail correspondence between an administrator and a married college president in which the administrator wrote of her love for him, and of her use of drugs and alcohol to deal with her unhappiness. Employers, including The New York Times and Dow Chemical, have fired workers for sending improper e-mail.
But the fastest-growing area for Internet spying is the home. SpectorSoft, a leading manufacturer of spyware, at first marketed its products to parents and employers. Sales jumped enormously, however, when the company changed its pitch to target romantic partners. "In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify my boyfriend’s true personality," a message on the company’s website declares.
What can you expect if someone puts SpectorSoft’s Spector 2.2 on your computer? It will take hundreds of records an hour of every website and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on you can review them later. A new product, SpectorSoft’s eBlaster, will send the spy detailed e-mail reports updating your computer activities frequently. These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware.
SpectorSoft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flourishing market. WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the "discontented family member" market has been finding WinWhatWhere. Many smaller companies have sites that sell relatively crude "key-loggers," software that records every keystroke typed on a computer.
Isn’t all this spying on loved ones a little creepy? Not to SpectorSoft president Doug Fowler. "If you’re in a committed relationship and you get caught because of evidence online, as far as I’m concerned you deserve to be caught," he says. Richard Eaton, president of WinWhatWhere, recognizes that in a perfect world users would reveal that they have placed monitoring software on a computer. But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden. "Our customers demanded it," he says.
What might WinWhatWhere do in the future?
选项
A、Purchase small software companies.
B、Turn its attention to at-home net users.
C、Follow the keystrokes of computer users.
D、Focus its attention on the business circles.
答案
B
解析
细节题。题干意为“WinWhatWhere公司将来会怎么做?”根据文章第四段第二句话“...the‘discontented familymember’market has been finding WinWhatWhere.”可知,将转向家庭使用者。故B正确。
