Oh the cyberspys....
Question/Problem: Ok, this one is a little interesting. My mother claims that she had a tech friend show her how to put this thing onto all of our computers to automatically email her if we do something "wrong". ((While I support her having done so in the past, I'm a legal adult and the fact that she doesn't trust me is irritating, since I'm not doing anything I find wrong, and her spying is now illegal.)) This techinque or program or whatever was learned at least seven years ago (before Vista was invented, right?) so I think she's bluffing. How do I find out if the program or whatever is on my computer, and how do I get it off?
Operating System, Version and Service Pack: Um Dell, Inspiron 1525, Windows Vista.
