a little help
Does anyone know of any freeware that will monitor your computer and tell you everything someone has done on it? I have a friend whose ex-husband keeps breaking into her house and reading all of her mail, etc on her computer. She wants to be able to catch him in the act. Any help would be great.

I think dealing with this issue as a police matter is probably better than if someones been on PC.
IF its XP and hes switching the PC on - there will be a log in the event view with a date and time
control panel>
admin tools>

She can also set up a "Motion Sensor" on a cam if she has one..Anything moves while this program is running it will take a snap shot of him..

That'll do it! With Fritz, Lilly and Hans we never lock our doors. City workers always ask permission to enter the back yard, and UPS leaves the packages at the door and runs back to the truck. Lilly is the most protectively aggressive dog I've ever had.

I've heard that there's been some spyware problems with Zone Alarm--or data mining. Not sure, but I pulled Zone Alarm too.
