Forensic computer program is a tool, either software or hardware, that is secretly installed on a specific computer system and is designed to obtain different types of data, depending on the features of each program. Investigating authorities would use such a tool as a clandestine investigative measure and thus acquire huge amount of data either before, during or after the commission of a criminal offence, what would undoubtedly facilitate the investigation. However, such a measure raises a number of issues, both on technical and legal level. On a technical level, the problems arise primarily in connection with the anti-virus software on a suspect's computer, misuse of such programs and with the caps and control over the execution of such a measure. On a legal level, the main problem is interference with some of the most important constitutional rights and weighing the eligibility of such an invasive tool in the hands of state authorities. In addition, it raises the question of cross-border investigation using such technology. Because of the rapid development of cybercrime and certain other types of crimes, we have to face the need for such investigative measure, yet we have to be extremely careful in its enactment.
