Okay, Understand (now) that XoftSpy uses deceptive practices in selling it's software. Now that I have already purchased it, does it in fact do what it claims; is it safe to keep running on my computer or should I remove it?

I read a little and still not sure if the full version actually works .

I would email them and tell them that you now know that they tricked you into buying it and you are not impressed with them !
to bad you couldn't stop the credit card payment.if thats how you payed for it .
