computer geeks where are you, have an email question

[seaking420]

Ok, without getting into why(I will probably post up at another time) how can someone know exactly who Im sending emails to and what im writing in those emails on my computer without being able to log into my email account, but they do have access to my computer.

Must have some kind of program installed to be able to access that info...I know that you can buy one that will prevent them from doing that but not sure where or what the name is

It has to be intered into your computer, it will record everywhere you go, or if you have multi-computers in your home it can be programmed on an external one without your knowledge.

There must be a program you can run to find it on your computer if it is the only one...

Actually, you won't.

The better key loggers (read : not free) programs don't show up on the Add Remove Program Panel. The only way you can detect them is to go to the task manager function and manually check every single process running.

Even the cheaper free versions of key loggers won't show up directly on the control panel add/remove section. If they do, they will be nearly always listed as something like XP Drivers or DSL Connect or some other vague reference to a normal computer option like that so the average person doesn't get suspicious of what it might be.

You need a good spywware / grayware remover.
The commercial version of ad-aware is now freeware (probably because the commercial version was cracked and easily downloaded via bittorrent) so I would start there. I've found that this program tends to complain about more installed items then anything else.

http://www.lavasoft.com and get that

You can also use trendmicro housecall (which is free and is either a java app or an activex application so it is a web browser plugin)

The above all else you need a firewall that has program control , so when a program tried to run in the background a popup warning you come up. Checkpoint zonealarm is a good one, but if you dont' wanna spend andy $$$ you can use the free Microsoft Utilities such as windows firewall and windows defender for starters

Lots of keystroke loggers will show up as running processes that you don't recognize. open the task manager and look at your running processes, google each one separately to see which one is the culprit. Sometimes it'll be a svchost.exe, but that's a process loaded from a ,dll that someone decided not to name. And there could be multiple ones running.
