How would you know if someone has been/is spying into your computer?

[Dan]

Actually, you won't know. However, you can make it more
difficult for anyone who may want to snoop. Set your
security settings in IE a bit higher, set your Privacy
settings a bit higher and maybe add known snoop cookies
to be blocked like doubleclick.com... Other than getting
a firewall program and watching what you load, clearing
your cookies and ie cach periodically, not sharing files
and folders... all you can do is check your system like
you've already done... hope this helps...
