As BlackBerry spyware continues to make news, an increasing amount of people are emailing me asking how to detect BlackBerry spyware. Here are the top five signs that you might have BlackBerry spy software installed on your BlackBerry.

• Can I Borrow Your BlackBerry? Someone has recently asked to borrow your BlackBerry phone in order to make a "private call" or to download a ringtone or something similar such as an app or game. (99.9% of all cell phone spyware requires a person to get physcial access to the cell phone in order to install the spy app.)

• How Much! Your text message bill has recently increased and you don't remember sending so many messages.  Another sign is that you notice an unusual increase in reported data traffic. BlackBerry spy software such as Flexispy & Mobile Spy use GPRS to transfer the collected data, which means if you are not the type who uses your BlackBerry to browse the web or to download games,a sudden spike in data usage is another sure sign you might have BlackBerry spy software installed.

• Battery Drain? Is your BlackBerry's battery life suddenly a lot shorter than the usual amount of hours? Depending on the type of BlackBerry spyware installed, your BlackBerry might experience a considerable amount of abnormal battery drain.

• Do You See Quick Flashes? Your  BlackBerry 'lights up' for no reason but doesn't ring.  Flexispy's PRO & PRO-X BlackBerry spy software  has a remote monitoring feature (remote monitoring) which enables someone to listen to your BlackBerry's surroundings.  When a remote monitoring is made, the spy phone software  may briefly light up for a split second. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen.

If some (or all) of these warning signs sound familiar to you, then I highly recommend taking the time to either download a BlackBerry spyware detection and removal app (it's free!) or take your BlackBerry into your provider and have them reinstall the OS again.

Keep in mind that for a guy like me who has experience installing cell phone spyware, I only need five to ten minutes to do a complete install. Once I'm done your BlackBerry is at my control. I can view your call history, read your text messages, email, track your location via GPS, and more.

Yes, it's that quick and easy to install BlackBerry spyware, so if you think you might have BlackBerry spyware on your phone, take the time to get it removed.

Good luck.

If you are worried that someone might have installed BlackBerry spyware on your phone, then check out this FREE app that detects if your BlackBerry has spyware installed. I've not had time to test it yet, but plan to do so soon.

For those of you who want to know if this app will detect Flexispy or other similar programs, here is what the author of the app wrote.

"Before I released the tool, I had a lot of people asking me if it will detect the Flexispy program.  While I didn’t want to spend close to $200 just to find out if it does, I am very certain that Kisses can detect it.  How do I know? Because Kisses will probe 2 areas of your handheld:  1) All running processes belonging to all applications on your handheld 2) All installed applications regardless of whether they are hidden or not.  This gives you an idea of exactly what is running on your handheld at any one time.  By letting you drill down further, you can discover more details of each application module.  With these capabilities, you’re bound to find not only FlexiSpy, but other bits of spyware  or suspicious applications as well (provided an undiscovered variant exists)."
