Dear Leo...Well I'd like to know if there is any possible way for me to know If there is any kind of keylogger or any other spying software installed in my laptop for someone to be able to see everything I do and write?I've been trying to check all files and stuff but I know these programs are hard to detect because they aren't actually visible...Plese help me, what can I do? is there any way for me to find out, and if there is, is there any way I can avoid them and uninstall them? I hope you can answer my question..thank you very much.

How can I tell if the goverment has taken up host on my computer

I have WIFI in my apartment and the whole building connects to the same wifi, which means that we all share the same Network Password. Is Is it possible for others to see my internet trafiic. I don't mean the ISP. Can anybody else with access to the network intercept my yahoo webcam etc.

As I understand it, yes, everyone that knows the password to the wireless network could, in theory, sniff all the traffic on it. (I could be wrong, I was unable to find a definitive yes or no myself, but based on what I'm reading my conclusion is that once an attacker has the password, they can see the traffic, so thus anyone who was given the password could see it as well.)

I use a wireless internet connection(secured WPA- personal) and noone other than me knows the password for it. Can anybody/ISP see what I am doing on the internet like I use Skype and Yahoo Msg to talk to my family oversea.Can they hear and see what I do on the skype/Yahoo video. If the answer is yes, can you please tell me how can I secure it from anyone/ISP to get an access to the same.

Hi Leo
Can a hacker see everything that is on your computer system like websites you've saved to your favorites?

I work from home and have access to an external system in a call center. I will like to know how much my boss can see on my computer while I'm working. For example, Office, internet, ...
Regards, Violetz

It all depends on that 'external system' and how you connect to it. Best case: no worries. Worst case: they can see everything. No way for me to know where on the spectrum you are with the information provided.
