Privacy

[shad]

How can I find out if someone who I share a computer with has installed any programs that might be tracking my computer usage or gaining access to my emails or using any other method to gain access to my privacy?

Thanks for responding Merlin_2.  I hope my question was clear.  I am not looking for a way to spy on someone else.  What I want to do is find out if any programs such as Keylogger have been installed on my PC.  I understand these type programs are deliberately hidden on a computer and can even be set up to secretly email my computer activities to someone.   How can I check my computer to see if any such program has been installed?  Thanks, Shad.
