checking history of remote viewing of my workstation
I have a funny feeling that a supervisor has somehow silently gained remote access to my computer and was wondering how I might check against this notion. I notice that when I do a netstat, I get a ton of expertcity.com messages (with IP address preceding the expertcity.com) that I think are tied to GoToMyPC or GoTo Meeting. I'll do it again shortly and all the connections will be gone. His office behavior has also made me wonder. Is there a log somewhere I might check or any utilities that can be used to reveal logging activity by user, service, etc.? I know, it's a bit paranoid but I just wonder.

Just curious as to why you are suspicious. If it a place of employment and the appropriate authoritive figure has appointed your supervisor the responsibility of monitoring you while at work I sincerely doubt it is a good idea for you to go nosing around. You may find your self without a job.

I will say that there are certain processes running when a remote view is in progress BUT keep in mind that GTMPC is always actively in TCP with its host. If not (assuming you have a dynamic ip not a static) GTMPC would not be able to locate your machine over the www

Do a good job and you won't have to worry about someone watching over you.
