If you check the covertspy or netdetective web sites, they offer a long list of information that COULD be there about you... The problem, COULD be, but they are NOT there... How can I be so sure? Have you ever visited any local/state/federal governement office, utility company etc. data center? You will see the same thing everywhere. In the better case: a big computer (mainframe) somewhere that is not connected to the Internet. Rooms full of tapes, discs - storing the older records. In the worst case you will find a basement full of papers.... To claim that anybody can have direct computer access to these isolated computers, discs, tapes on shelves, paper files in the basement??? Yes, there are public records, much more than people think. But you do not need any software to get access to them. Go to your public or nearby college library, to your city hall, to the courthouse, and they will help you how/WHERE you can find documents. Let me repeat most of the documents are not on the net, not accessible directly. Something else: there are public and not public documents. There are not "public only if you pay for it" documents. (You have to pay only to get a copy of it, not to read it.) Btw this part was my favorite: * Business Conduct (Has a bussines been ripping you off, have you been ripping other people off by using various cons, and scams? EVEN IF, your scams are legal, your business's name will still go into the files of the Better Business Bureau.) If all the other information this software can provide you is as valid as the BBB files... you should forget about it......
