RetroCoder Ltd. has threatened legal action against Sunbelt Software for listing the U.K. company's commercial 
keystroke-logging application in its anti-spyware database, reflecting the growing animosity between some software 
makers and security vendors.

In an email sent Oct. 28 to Sunbelt, RetroCoder demanded that its SpyMon product, which secretly records computer 
users' keystrokes, be removed from the company's detection list, arguing that Sunbelt was in violation of the European 
Union's copyright law, as explained in Retrocoder's end user licensing agreement.
