RetroCoder Threatens Security Vendors 157
john83 writes "RetroCoder the company that brings you SpyMon, a commercial keylogger is trying to stop vendors of security software from looking at their software. RetroCoder uses a EULA that prohibits anti-spyware publishers / software houses from downloading, running or examining the software in any way. Essentially, they're trying to hide a key logger behind copyright law." While they are certainly not the first to do so, it is interesting that companies still take this approach.

If the keylogger were installed on a computer without the owner's knowledge, in that case the EULA would not apply and the owner of the computer could do whatever s/he wished.
