My brother has recently in the last few months brought up certain
"topics" in conversation that I had recently viewed on the web a few
days before hand. The information was so off the wall that it can't be
a coincidence - I think he is using some kind of hidden tracking or
logging software to spy on my internet usage. I clear temp files and
history and other cached data all the time. I also have software that
erases recently viewed information/caches. I am convinced he is using
some kind of logging software, and viewing the log to see where/what I
was doing. He will not admit to this, so I would like some help.

I looked at all the Programs (WinXP: START | ALL PROGRAMS) and could
not find anything that would log/track intenet usage. Then from the
command prompt I typed "msconfig" and under the SERVICES tab I found
"TrueVector Internet Monitor" running. I know that this has something
to do with a ZoneAlarm product, but I could not find any ZoneAlarm
programs running on my machine (I have never loaded this or used
ZoneAlarm). What is this and could someone use this to produce an
output log of all internet pages viewed and visited? If a log could be
produced, how/where on my computer could I find the log? Would they be
able to view a secure email account, such as Yahoo email? I always
sign out when I leave, but would such a program be able log screen
shots so someone could view secure inbox and sent pages without logging
in?

I have a cable modem and the company I use provided me with firewall
and anitvirus software called EZ Armour and EZ Trust. This is made by
Computer Associates. Does TrueVector service come along with this CA
software? I used to run Sygate Personal Firewall on this same PC -
could TrueVector be left over from Sygate?

Help! Thank you.
