Question  Is Backwards Mouse spyware?

NO Backwards Mouse is not a spyware program.

Some spyware and anti-virus software detect our software within their system scan. They are checking for any potential software that might cause damage or harm to the computer or user. However, if you check in to what it detected our software as - you will find that all of our software is completely harmless.

When testing our software with the top 10 major players in anti-virus and spyware prevention software, we found this:

9 out of the 10 packages detected at least one of our Entertainment (joke) programs in their full system scans. They classified our software as a "joke program" with a description of "A program designed to amuse or scare a user, such as imitating the actions of a virus, without actually harming the computer."

The key point being "without actually harming the computer".
