If your mobile phone feels hot even when you have not used it, or the screen lights up suddenly, your mobile phone could be bugged using cheap software, says private investigator Vincent Tan of Commercial Investigations LLP.

Also, while these software claim to help monitor children and employees, there are instances where such programs seem to have been used to catch out cheating spouses.
For instance, a blogger last week posted incriminating SMSes between his wife and lover.
The text messages were ostensibly captured by a spy software that captures the tracked phone's text messages, browsing history, and physical location.
