Are you being sarcastic in this post with response to his "wife/gf spying on you" or do you really have snooping apps? Or are you referring to malware when you say spyware?lol,,,, yes its driving me crazy
He could be talking about Google sync for all we know.
No, he isn't - I've checked it out. My girlfriend is being harassed by a criminal thug who has been in a mental hospital. There are multiple stalker/spyware apps out there for the android. And no one will stop it until she is hurt or killed. A guy in Chicago just used software like this to stalk a girl and then he tracked her and killed her. This is fully evil software.
It has me SERIOUSLY angry at Android and so I'm done with their OS until they make it secure - at least have a novice level where this cannot be installed.
I am in the process of trying to find some working malware/spyware removal tools. Seriously, this is beyond some sad guys worried about infidelity nonsense, this is being used by some very SICK individuals (as I mentioned) and it is easy to put on the device.
I have been to the police but they are technically incompetent to deal. Much of it is hidden at such a deep level you have to wipe everything to get rid of it. And even then it might survive in the cloud.
All you doubters are just plain stupid. Sorry, but you are not informed.
So far I have tried AVG, but I am not sure if that will do it. Looking now and will hopefully find something.
The criminal I am talking about has already used this to determine when she isn't home so he can break into her house. And to listen to her calls and harass her friends.
If someone has experience with removing this crap, be a decent person and tell us how to get rid of it. You actually may be saving someone's life.
Examples of this alleged spyware please?

So how do you know who the as you put it the criminal thug is and that he was in a mental hospital? Seems like you know too much detail but yet the cops refuse to help? Show us these apps that has these programs in them. You wont because they dont exist. Go back to playing with your iphone.No, he isn't - I've checked it out.

all they need is access to their google account to install anything from the market remotely.Well don't let them near your phone then. You can't remotely install an app without them noticing.

True only if the other party has access to the handset/PC used to log-in and "Stay signed in" is selected. The Market account cannot be accessed from another PC, even if the user is signed in on another, without entering the correct user name/password.All it takes it's to forget to log out.
