Open up a CMD prompt, type "netstat -a". Look for established connections.
Verify what those are. Open up task manager. Look at the running
processes. Verify what those are. Type some odd combination of words into
MSN. Then do an advanced Search for them, to find those words as text in
all documents.
Why do you think someone else is reading your conversations? You do realize
that these can be logged by the MSN/AIM programs themselves? And that
anyone on the other end of the conversation has every right to save that
info?
