Somebody's watching me
I am almost positive someone is accessing my personal (comcast) email account. I keep changing the password yet someone keeps accessing the account. I have two theories: An IT person at work is somehow discovering my passwords, or my wife has installed a keystroke logger on my home desktop to get my passwords (I access the account from work and home). My questions are:

1. Is it possible for an IT person at work to somehow record my passwords? If so is there any way for them to then retrieve these paswords without actually going on the laptop (I have the work laptop with me most of the time and rarely use the VPN from home)?

2. Is there any way to determine if someone has installed a key stroke logger on your PC?

Thanks

A rootkit scanner like GMER,would detect it.

or

This is another post I found on a forum;

HijackThis will also detect keyloggers too if you know or have someone who can read them. I had someone tell me their ex knew convos she was having on MSN or emails. I ran HJT and it found weird entries and hidden programs.
ComboFix showed at various times he installed 4 different keyloggers.
