If someone has a keylogger or trojan installed in your system they can have access to all your email, or all your data. If the computer is not yours, and it is a company machine you should expect that everything you do with it is being monitored. After all it is not your computer, and not your time either. Take care and all the best!

Try the trojan scanner SWAT IT from
www.lockdowncorp.com and also see
www.webattack.com for their freeware and shareware packages in their security sections about both KEY LOGGERS and KEY LOGGER DETECTIONS and spy stuff. They have some very good stuff over there.

Email is just a little more secure than hiring an airplane to sky-write your message. :)

This is from my home PC but it seems some people at work know some of the emails that I have sent. "Not emails to or from work of to people at work" I have even tested it by sending bogus emails and have got the expected reaction. I want to know if there is a way to catch someone who is doing this. I have ran numerous virus detection programs ie macafee and pc-cillin with the latest updates. And even several trojan search programs recomended on this site. Also ran several spyware programs including spybot search and destroy.

Has anyone from where you work had access to your personal computer at any time? I would definately check for trojans and/or keyloggers.

No one from work has been to my house, but I have recieved emails from them. What about some of the software out there like Spector Pro. Will these spyware scanners detect it.
