This is only in reference to a business environment. I suppose you can say that any monitoring tool or piece of software could be spyware. I know in several instances where employee's were let go or suspended due to inappropriate activity were based solely on the analysis of firewall logs that record all internet activity. In our Computer Security Policy we do not specifically say that the firewall is logging everyone's internet surfing activities. However in the computer security document it is spelled out that they are using company equipment and the company reserves the right to monitor any and all activity. Would you say in this instance that the tools (firewall logging) used would be classified as "spyware"?
