Summary

MonitoringTool:Win32/SecondSight is a surveillance application that can record different types of information on an affected machine, including the Window names of currently running applications, Web pages visited, and logged key strokes. It can also capture and save screen images in full or compressed format. Win32/SecondSight can be configured to silently send log files via e-mail to a predefined account.
Monitoring programs are typically installed by the computer owner or administrator and should only be removed if unexpected. MonitoringTool:Win32/SecondSight may not place an uninstaller entry in "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel. If an uninstaller is not available or if you do not want to use the uninstaller that is provided, use Microsoft Windows Defender or another up-to-date scanning and removal tool to detect and remove MonitoringTool:Win32/SecondSight and other unwanted software from your computer.
