spyware in ubuntu?

[Serg Belokamen]

I am not quiet sure about spyware detection software as such... 

What you may want to try (manualy) if you have a reason to belive you
are infected with spy ware is to check if you have a trusted version
of "netstat" utility and then use that to see what connection you have
(in and out). If you see anything that shouldn't be there, then act
accordingly.

   Cheers,
      Serg
