My b/f and I share a computer together. Is there any way he can look on the computer thru the ip address to see what sights I have been on? And also,is there any way he can read my e-mail thru my ip address?

If you share a computer, then yes, it's probably quite likely that things can be seen.

I like what you people have done for me

Today when I signed in with my username and password, hotmail rejected my password many times. I remembered my friend has my password. Is it possible that she was checking my email account while I was trying to log on at the same time? after i tried logging on many times then I finally was able to log on. Do you think she changed my password and changed it back? what would have happened if we were both checking at the same time? I have now changed my password.
thank you.

Someone has access to my email account in yahoo and it's caused me and my husband to split up. His family was also involved how can I find out where and who this person is?

I've had the same problem, except that I have not shared my password with anyone else. Is it possible for someone to gain access without a password?

hi i have a question i feel like my girlfriend put a parental control on my email.I saw her checking her email and I saw a letter that I wrote to someone else in her inbox I asked my other friend if she got the letter and she said yes & there is no way that I sent the letter to the both of them I am positive I did not send the letter to my girlfriend.is it possible that she has some type of parental control on it and how did she get that letter? thanks alex

Any sort of computer expert (i.e. IT, MIS, Computer Science people) are knowledgeable about this stuff. They know how to tinker with computers. Never ever share a computer with a computer junkie. I don't how it works, but I know there's a way to record every key that gets typed on a computer. If you share a computer with another person, that person can easily set the computer to record all keys which are being punched into the keypad. The person can then discover your email password.

I just remembered.... they're called 'keyloggers.' Anyone can download keylogger software onto their computer, then record all typing and program information

I am the office manager and we have Outlook at my work. I have a strong suspicion that one of the admins we laid off a couple of weeks ago is checking some of our office emails from her home computer. Could our IT person find out for sure if and when this is happening, maybe through tracking the IP address? How much effort would this take, and if so, could we bring legal action against this person?
