So you have the dreaded feeling that is sinking in your stomach that your significant other is cheating on you; worse yet, you suspect it is on MySpace!  Nevertheless, what can you really do to catch them?  Do you really want to know?  Most people subconsciously really want to know, even if they do not admit to wanting to know.

While catching someone cheating in the real life is very complicated and lined with trouble, catching people online can be just as difficult.  But there is hope; you can find a nice assortment of tools that will help you in your quest to the truth.  Beware, these tools if discovered could cost you your entire relationship. 



If you have decided this risk is worth it then you can look into purchasing a keylogger software.  These are typically considered a virus or Trojan so your anti-virus software may find it.  You want to be careful you get a good program that cannot be turned off, but runs quietly in the background so your sweetie is unaware of what you are doing.  Nothing could be worse than finding out your significant other does not trust you, when you have done nothing wrong.  

In the world of keyloggers, cheap is not always good.  You want a good quality keylogger to help keep your activities hidden, so that you are not caught.  After all this is almost as bad as cheating itself.  One program you can look into is called TypeAgent.  This is a keylogger that will run in the background quietly, and allow you to see every keystroke that is taken on the keyboard of any computer it is installed on.

Suppose you do not like the idea of using TypeAgent specifically, you have some other options as well.  If you get a good one, almost any program that is designed as a keylogger, chat monitor, or even specifically for the purpose of helping catch cheating spouses should be perfect for your needs.  Remember, if you can do this to your significant other, they can do it back to you as well!  

If you want to avoid having something like this occur against you, you should check out such programs as Evidence Eraser, this program will help remove any unwanted items from your computer to keep prying eyes out.  Remember, if you are trying to hide your activities, or even dig for hidden activities it is not going to be free, or necessarily even cheap.  To help decide if this is in your best interests to do, there are some guidelines you can follow to help decide if measures this drastic are needed.  

First, to help determine if you are overreacting or actually have a basis for your suspicions you need to look at their recent behavior.  Do they seem to spend more time on the computer, rather than doing anything else?  Does the idea of walking away from the computer upset them?  Have they insisted upon purchasing a web cam recently?  Have they recently added tons of people as friends on their account that you do not know, and have never met or seen before?  

While on the computer, do they get very nervous and act suspicious?  Do they stay up all night online?  Are they even accusing you of cheating?  If so these are some red flags, you should take note of.  While not everyone who exhibits these “symptoms” is cheating, it is generally a very good sign that something is not right.  

Trust is always a good thing to have, but lately the internet has made it easier and easier to cheat without being caught.  With a web cam, some free time and an internet connection it is so simple for people to get into trouble they never realized could exist.
