Catching someone snooping
I have reason to suspect that my roommate has snooped through my belongings and computer. Is there a free program that could monitor my computer so I can confront him about it?

Well, you can download Ccleaner, run and press "analyze" then see the cookies from the internet sites your computer has accessed. Confront your roommate with the evidence if you find a site you know you haven't been on.

[ This is only for the internet, though - if you were to see if he snooped in your documents you would have to had a keylogger installed. ]

And of course we don't provide assistance with keylogger programs but rather we help to remove them as they are spyware.

Isn't the computer password protected?
