Hi, I work in an office with 3 other people and I am currently reviewing
my
employment options. In doing this, I have contacted recruitment firms and
other firms using my laptop which has a password to get past security. I
had
noticed a couple of mornings ago that my laptop had been tinkered with one
night after i had left the office the night before. When i mentioned that
things were different on my laptop to the others in the office, one of
them
mentioned that they had tried to get on to it but unsuccessfully. I don't
believe this to be true. I think this person (my boss) has been able to
access my laptop as my password is something they might be able to guess.
When i went out for lunch yesterday, a similar thing happened and i
suspect
my system is being monitored. I have removed the offending info from the
laptop but wish to confirm that my laptop has been used in my absence. Is
it
possible to tell when your computer is being turned on/logged on to your
personal log-on profile? I'm sure this is obvious but i don't seem to be
able
to find out how and i'm unable to ask our IT people (obvious reasons). My
operating system is Windows XP 2002 edition if needed
