I have Windows 98SE and want to know how I find out who keeps getting into my Yahoo, and Outlook Express 6 and sending out mail as me. It has to be someone I know because they got into both accounts, and I regularly change passwords. Both accounts send mail to the same names also.
I want to catch them red handed. I also suspect my daughters boyfriend is signing me up for all kind of rude sites and mail, and I would like to know if there is a way to hack his account on yahoo and change his settings so I can get a little pay back

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot. If you suspect a problem, change your password.

I see how to turn on the audit logon events but this doesn't seem to be an option in Windows XP Home. Do you know if it is possible to audit logons in the home edition? thanks, rita

Thanks for the tip on activating the logs for remote logins to my PC. I will start monitoring now. hope this will show all the programs like intelliviewer and mstsc.

What i need to know is that you said abt some spyware that will help monitoring remote logins. can u name some safe ones.. i dont want it to be a nuisence after installing for a cause.

If it is not in your accessories folder, go to control panel, performance and maintenance. You will then be able to find Local Security Policy shortcut.
