    i think the safest way would be like i sugested above, use some remote access software. and watch what they are doing from another place via the web. this way you wont get any passwords and all you have is some screen shots of them using a PC,

    You could try installing Messenger Plus... this has its own logging, which IIRC is active by default. There's nothing to stop the person disabling it though.

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    So, updating the registry won't work then? I don't want to install anything else as they will wonder why I've done it.

    the only thing you need to install is the logmein software which sits in the system tray, i thinkyou may be able to hide it aswell. then all you do is log into the site and view the computer.

    If you get caught using a key logger and they find out, expect repercusions. I know i would go straight to the police if i found out my GF had done such a thing.

    Surely monitoring the screen is exactly the same just in another guise, you are still doing it without permission...

    realvnc is great for remote access to computers and spying on people.

    It's still surveillance without permission = illegal.

    All I want to do is check on what people are talking about on my computer. I'm fairly certain they are discussing some unsavoury subjects but would like proof before I do anything.
