i deleted some files off of the computer and my b/f knew what I deleted and what tiem I deleted them? How can he know this? is he using some kind of software or just computer? he said it had a time stamp on it? on what? i deleted it. so how did he do that? so is it possible he knows everything i do or type? I think he also went into my email but how would he figure out the password? i never told him.

Computer activities can be monitored through a number of spy suites. He may have something installed on the computer that allows him to track all of your actions.

When u say "deleted", did u remove the item from the recycling bin as well? if not, the item is still technically there. Even so, it is possible to recover files that have been deleted and removed from the recycling bins.

A timestamp is something windows uses to keep track of file dates and times, such as the date it was created, modified and deleted.

If there is somethng u are trying to hide from him, i suggest that u should use a different computer. Theres too many ways to track actions on computers to unsuspecting people.

Hope this helps

Sounds like he may have installed a keystroke logger.

okay, well how do I do that to find the timestamp on deleted files? and would a keystroke logger log my password to my email too?

A key logger will log every thing YOU type.I would check the ADD/REMOVE programs see if there is a susupucious file in there.Thats the best way he can get your password.just to try something hold down control then the F12 key see if a keylogger pops up and ask for a password.I had one once that used this short cut
