Not only can you password your account (which you should ALWAYS do anyway, many PC's and laptops also offer the ability to have a second p/w set within the BIOS - preventing anyone without the p/w from even booting up the computer :)

The only way is to make the computer completely secure is to make it a part of a domain. \nYour other choice is the create another username on the machine. Making sure it has access to everything you want to be able to use. After doing this, restart the computer and instead of entering a username/password click 'cancel' this is the default user, remove everything from the start menu WITHOUT uninstalling anything. This will deny direct access when you don't enter a password and click cancel. You can't do anything without knowing what you are doing. You can take this a step further and place a .bat file in the startup folder on this profile that reboots the machine if the password is not entered. You can also do several registry tweaks to remove the 'run' feature and others.

They can monitor EVERYTHING you do. Every site you visit, every keystroke in fact if you are at work now they know what you just typed. Keep in mind, they can and will have all your passwords as well. I have a program called Remote Administrator that allows me to sit here and watch my kids on their pc from my pc as if I was standing there.

You can't.\n\nEven if you could, the minute you did, your computer would be as useful as a rock. It would lock up tight.

It's against the law to break into someone else's computer, period. It's also probably a pretty good way to get fired.

Install a software firewall on your computer and set the feature to lock the connection after the desired time. It works like a screen saver. If you want to limit the total access try setting the computer to boot only to the hard drive. Then set the BIOS password and slap a lock on the case so that the BIOS cannot be cleared. Also set the password on your screen save. I have mine set for 10 minutes in case I leave my desk.\nDo not use names for a password. Mix upper and lower case and numbers, letters, and symbols. Add letter 8 characters.\n\nRemeber, if someone want in there is nothing you can do to stop them.

its possible easily. Why not make your password secure and ensure you dont leave any other computer without logging out. if possible clean up the cookies of any pc that you use but does not belong to you

you can download programs that will track keystrokes and programs and run unseen in the background...basically spying on whoever is using your computer.

If you have XP, you can create login id's for each person that you will allow to access the pc.  When that person logs in, a profile is created.  This means when they create desktop shortcuts for applications, it will show up when they login.  You can't just install software and not show up in the Programs list.\nTo setup logins, open Control Panel and select users and create a new account.  Make sure that user has to enter a password if they want their data protected.

Get a good firewall such as zonealarm(they have a free version)\nthen it will ask you if it's ok whenever someone tries to get into your computer with spyware/adware.  Probably be a good idea to \nrun a spyware/adware removal tool first.  There are free ones available, do a google search for free spyware removers. Be careful though whenever you download software, sometimes there are spyware or viruses attached.

Without being very competent with computers, it's hard to be *sure* whether there is a keylogger installed. Press Control+Alt+delete, click on Task Manager, and look at the processes whose user name is not SYSTEM. Does any have a name like 'keylog', or 'spy', or 'grab'? If not, it's likely there's no such thing installed.\n\nBut if you suspect the administrator wants your password, the only way you can be sure he doesn't get it is by not entering it on the computer...
