A few useful tips.

The built-in remote desktop can allow another user to monitor your computer WITHOUT locking you out, and even when it does lock you out it only tells you your own username.

thank you so much for the information. However, what if the person you don’t trust is on the same network and owns the router?

I was on facebook chatting with some one and seemed to have gotten into my files. She seem to know things about me that I didn’t tell her. Could she have done this and how?
How do I prevent this from happening again and do the same back to her, how can I do that?

Good information for people being monitored.

But how to monitor emails? I want to monitor my employees emails for security reasons. Is there a free solution?

I just found out today that my dad was having his friend watch my computer for him, and I didn’t know what to do because I was having trouble with spyware even before that, and then I found this article. Using this article, I was able to go to Control Panel, then Windows Firewall where I found weird software and blocked it. Thank you for your helpful article!

My employer intentionally put softactivity monitoring software on my machine and others. I found where I could uninstall it however it is password protected. I can’t find the exact process to end it. I also found where all the screen shots are stored on the client machine. Spybot doesn’t detect it and neither does malwarebytes. How can I uninstall it and get rid of it – I can put it back when I’m done checking my personal bank account on my break which I think my boss has no business seeing my bank balance. Yes I can refrain from checking during business hours but it’s the principal of the thing.

Hi, I am currently in divorce proceedings with my husband who is a network engineer who works for a large corporation so to speak and is in charge of their security and networking issues. I believe that he was cheating on me with several of his female co-workers and the divorce is not final yet and he has already moved one of his ex’s into our home. He would constantly tell me where I was at when we were together even if I just went for a drive to get away from it all and no one knew where I was.

My cell phones I use a prepaid nokia and samsung and try to change them as often as I can. I believe that he is currently monitoring me now. How can I protect my privacy?? Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! When I tell my friends what he is doing they dismiss it as not possible. I have helped him work on several projects in the past for his employer and I know that it is so totally possible and easy for him to do.

I am not very technical but I am intelligent and I do learn very quickly. The average “Joe” would never believe how someone with technical abilities can mess with someone’s life. I Really Need Someone to Help me with this that Knows what they are doing and what I am talking about.

Once this guy told me that he installed something on my computer by hacking into it, and that he was spying on me from his house. He said he had logs of all my chats and what not. He then said sorry and took it all back, and was nice again. Recently, he go angry at me again. I now have a MAC but is it possible for someone with a PC to spy on someone with a MAC? I don’t have much security on this.

So this is good for the corporate world, but what about finding out if your mate is spying on you. Will these methods work with the new monitoring software that is out now b/c I realize this was originally posted a couple of years ago?
