Just how private?

[TemporaryUser]

A couple quick questions regarding how detectable this program is on the target phone:

1) Is there any way a savvy phone user could find this program on their phone. For instance, does it show up as "Flexispy" on the installed programs list or does it use an alias?

2) I have read that some other spy software can really drain the battery life of the target phone potentially making the user suspicious of "something going on" with his or her phone. Does Flexispy have a noticeable affect on battery life? (if it makes a difference, it would be a Blackberry Curve 8530)

3) Once you are finished using the program, is it easily removed from the target phone?

Thanks!

1) Each platform is a little different, so I can't give you a single answer for every product on every model. But generally speaking, yes it is well hidden if not completely. The program does not announce itself, is not called "FlexiSPY", does not have a visible icon that can be run from anywhere, and requires a secret code entered in a special way to actually access its menu or any settings.

2) By itself, the program should not normally drain a battery. However there are numerous ways that you can use the software. If you are making a lot of SpyCalls for example, this is going to use the same amount of battery that any normal phone call would, since it of course requires some battery in order to make a phone call. Same with the GPS. GPS uses more battery power than almost anything else a phone can do, so if you set the program to turn on the GPS for a new location every minute for example, that will use a lot of power throughout an entire day. But all of the program settings can be configured to operate as you like, or remotely turned on or off at any time. So you are always in control of how the program is operating.

3) Some versions of the software (for some models) have the ability to remotely uninstall. But usually you would need access to the phone to fully, completely uninstall it (the same as you need access to the phone in order to initially install it). However, there are many remote commands for just about everything, so you can remotely turn everything off and basically disable it, even if you can't get to the phone to physically uninstall it. This is good because then you also have the options to turn it back on if you need to.
