Spouses Use Monitoring Software to Catch Husband’s Surfing for Porn

MALDEN, Mass. — MG Way, a software maker specializing in monitoring software, announced that people looking to track their spouse’s Internet use are the fastest growing segment of its customer base.

“We have three main groups of users of our PC monitoring program: parents, business owners and couples,” Maksim Sokolovski, an executive with the company, said. “Usually these three groups are more or less equal, maybe a little bit more parents who are concerned about their kids. But this year statistics shows the increase in numbers among users who are worried about their other half.”

According to Sokolovski, sales to worried spouses have increased by almost 10 percent over last year’s numbers.

In fact, the growing market has the company considering an edition of MG-Shadow, the monitoring software in question, aimed directly at spouses.

Sokolovski attributes much of the growth in this area to women who are concerned that their husbands and boyfriends are spending copious amounts of time online viewing porn. As proof for this hypothesis, Sokolovski cited a recent survey of divorce attorneys.

“Two-thirds of attorneys surveyed said the Internet played a significant role in divorces in the prior 12 months, with excessive interest in online porn contributing to more than half of such cases,” Sokolovski said.

Monitoring software tracks the sites that a user visits and compiles data on the user’s search patterns.
