The removal of surveillance software is a bit tricky and can be VERY troubling if your account was not the one to install it. However, the first step would be to determine if it is indeed installed.

First thing I would do is to look at the registry. See if you see anything in the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run line. You should see some files, but you are looking for anything that is set to run at start up you dont recognize.

Then look at control panel and see if you see it there.

Next look at c:\program files through Windows Explorer. look to see if you see any artifacts on Winspy(or win-spy)

The way that I would go about this is to look for the winspy.exe/winsys.vbs. Looking at several different website, it seems that they all agree that these files would be there.

I would do a simple DOS search for those files - again seeing if they are even present

To do this - click START, PROGRAMS. ACCESSORIES, Right click on command prompt and select run as administrator

from dos -

cd \

dir winsp*.exe /s

or

dir win-sp*.exe /s

If you see an output - then you know you have something.

Without installing that software on my own machine to see what installation paths are used, there is not a whole lot I can say. However, if you are that concerned, you could also use a LIVE CD that is designed to search for malware. That should at least get you started.
