As long as they have physical access to your computer and use an admin
user's login credentials, they can do whatever they want on your
computer. Turn on auditing of login events to see when it is happening.
Notify the valid owner of that admin login to change their password
since an employee has stolen their identity (which should also trigger
that admin to start sniffing the network looking for the intruder). Of
course, maybe the intruder of which you speak is the admin. Remember
that your company computer is not your property. If they want to
install keyloggers to monitor that you are using their property only in
your role as their employee then they have perfect legal right to
monitor you. You not going through the security admins provided by the
company smacks of you trying to find this user and becoming a vigilante
against them. Without the backing of the IT dept or security or system
admins, your actions might not be viewed favorably.
