nobody but st_sisoe has answered the question correct. The questioner don't ask for a spyware remover but ask if it's possible to prove if somebody put some spyware on his PC.\n\nI would say you will have some problems to prove this. ;-)

Scan for virus and it should/will tell you what potential if any spyware has been downloaded to your computer. Then you have the option to delete the files or not. I use McAfee.

You can search in the windows search box by "last accessed". If you know the time and date the activex control was running, you can look through all files accessed at exactly that time for something suspicious. Good luck!\n\n(However, the ActiveX control could simply be reading your installation ID, in which case all you can do is use a different computer)
