Who is using your PC in your absence?

Invading privacy of others and
forcefully or secretly entering into
someone’s life is completely
unethical, at least as a computer
user.
If you have a doubt and think that
someone may have got access to
your computer and is accessing
your computer in your absence to
spy on you, this is the perfect
article for you.
In this article, I will tell you a trick
to know if there is a spy on your or
not. We will be using a simple
Windows feature, Event Viewer to
know whether there any event
occurred on your computer, at time
on which you were not present or
not. If you find any activity done
on your computer in your absence,
get alert! Change your password
and increase the security, may be
someone really got the access.
Follow the given steps to find
whether your computer was used

secretly or not ?

Step 1: Open Control Panel and
make sure Classic View (Windows
XP) or Large Icon view (Windows
7) is activated.
Step 2: Open Administrative Tools
Step 3: In the next windows, Open
Event Viewer
In Event Viewer you can observe
various kind of event which
happened on your computer along
with their time of occurrence.
These events may be application
events, security events or some
other type of system events.
If you find an event happening on
time at on which you were not
present on your computer or
according to you, no one should be
accessing your computer at that
time than this is a high alert for
you. Someone is accessing your
computer in your absence and
spying you or stealing your data.
You should immediately change
your password or set a password,
