Please log in for more thread options ActiveSync acts as a pass-through connection for the device, so all of the
network traffic that the device sends goes through your PC. All a piece of
tracking software would have to do is capture IP addresses visited by the
network adapter connected to the Internet (the one IE on your PC uses when
it visits the Internet), and use reverse DNS to get the site names back.
Very simple for anyone smart enough to capture any other sort of traffic
from your PC.
