document appearing on my computer

[topsail]

Good morning -- I need help.  I discovered that someone had installed a program called Spector on my system -- the entire version.  My husband -- who I work for -- was the one who did it.  While that was for work -- and could care less -- now documents have gotten into his hands -- appearing that I wrote and supposedly that came off this computer -- which I did not.  How does that happen and how do I prevent it from happening again?  There were quite a few and are of such a nature that my husband actually believes that I wrote them -- something that if I had -- I would readily admit.  Our IT Director is the gentleman in question -- and while in our employ -- has been sent to very exclusive seminars on "hacking" -- can someone assist with how this can be done and how to stop it.

Wrote what exactly?

I am not exactly sure what the problem is. Do you want SpectorSoft removed or is someone stealing your work?

My husband and I jointly own a company.  There were documents and files that were "supposedly" found on my computer -- which I have not seen.  But having read these documents -- I know that I did not write them --may be bi-polar -- but I would remember that stuff as it could result in the loss of jobs for over 50 people.  The IT Director had installed a program called Spector Soft on my system -- which has since been removed and prevention programs put in place to prevent that from happening again.

My question -- could someone (IT Director) at this point -- have written these documents and made it look as though they were typed and came off my system.  If so -- how and is there a way to prevent this from happening again?

made it look as though they were typed and came off my system.

what do you mean by "look as thought it were typed"? are you referring to a scanned document?

what do you mean by "came off my system"?

I think Topsail is saying that someone else has put a file onto the computer without permission.

In answer to your question 'How do I prevent this from happening again', you just need a good antivirus if it's over the internet (remote) or add a password to your computer (if the person had access to your computer).



By the way, Nice to see you again JXY

If your company computers are all connected on the same network (highly likely), then you may have some network drives. In which case someone on the same network may be sharing files with you, and not putting them on your pc.

The documents in question were handed to my husband and he was told that I had typed them and that they were found on my individual computer.  I work from home -- on a separate network -- not networked into the main office network -- but totally independent.  I access files using an FTP system -- and my IP address is capture to give me access to the FTP site.  My problem is that I did not type those documents -- but the IT director says that I did -- and that he accessed them using the Spector system.  I run on Vista -- and use Spyware Doctor to remove threats -- and thought that the eblaster program -- as well as  -- the Spector system (including the Pro_Keylogger) were totally removed.  The scans for over a week showed a clean computer -- today -- came back with the Pro_Keylogger system back again.  Does anyone know how that works and how to get it off?  The documents -- how could someone gain access to a computer and make it look as though a document were created by an individual when it was not?  How is that possible?  I don't do technical -- I do databases so this is "over my head" but there are a few jobs which could be in question if I don't find a resolution.

I think you need to take this up with the IT guy. He put it on, he needs to take it off, or ensure it is actually gone.

Does the keylogger on your computer possess evidence that you typed the document(s)? Could someone else have gained access to your pc manually, and typed it themselves? Have you checked the date of the creation of the document? You can verify if you've truly typed the document yourself, by looking at the time and date.
