Webwatcher is a Keylogger program. Keyloggers are legal. How it is used may be legal or illegal. If your husband installed this to monitor your computer it is certainly unethical.

It is perfectly appropriate to install a Keylogger to monitor a childs use of the computer. It is not appropriate to use one to monitor another adults computer use. Doing this is a sign of a "Control Freak".

Because Keyloggers are legal the Security programs usually ignore them. Some Keyloggers are classified as Rogue programs. This is based on whether to provide all the promise, how the are promoted and other factors. Security companies usually allow their programs to detect Rogue programs.

The problem with Webwatcher is it is not classified as a Rogue program.

Another problem with detecting Keyloggers is they are designed to be very secretive. They are hidden in areas of your computer that do not get scanned when the scan is done in the "normal mode" the computer operates. Opening these areas allow the programs to scan them and hopefully remove the keylogger.

Another method you can use to find it is check the Processes in Task Manager. The best way to do this is use a program like WinTask Pro. This will look at each running process and tell you what program uses it.
