It seems as though most of you are pretty tech savvy - I am not :( I suspect someone has put spyware on my computer/nexus/phone and I'm wondering how to find it? I upgraded my iphone to ios 6 so I think I'm good there. I did a factory reset on my nexus but it looks fairly easy and fast to put spyware on so it may happen again... I opened an email with a photo on my computer and I'm suspicious it may have contained a keylogger - I realize I sound totally paranoid but it wouldn't be the first time this person has done this. I did refresh to an earlier point in time but I'm still concerned. What can I look for on my computer. I have read that many are undetectable but there's got to be some way.
Am I correct that there is no remote install type spyware for androids or iphones?
Regarding the iphone...I used to jailbreak mine and stopped when I found out I had spyware on it. Got an entire new phone and started from scratch - I believe there is only a tethered jailbreak for 6.0 at this point but I'm sure the unteathered jailbreak for a 4S will be available at some point. Does anyone know how to detect Cydia if it's been hidden? Is there a way to tell if someone has jailbroken my phone if they try and hide it?
Thanks - I swear I'm not just a paranoid lunatic!! LOL

thank you - will check them out. I run Kaspersky on my laptop - think that thwarts threats at all?
