keyloggers are another way to spy what is typed on a computer too, everything you type can be sent to a specific mail address for inspection, I have never played with them, but do know they exist, with a key logger installed along with remote desktop, you wouldnt know what hit you, and you would have no secrets left to tell. How would you check , not sure , as I have never played with them, but everything you type would become common knowledge for someone else to read.Shutting down remote desktop should end the blocked list wonders but a key logger will just keep right on singing ,

There are several ways someone could access your computer without your knowledge or permission. Keylogger program is 1. The one most used is to send a worm through e-mail. Worms are one of the hardest to detect and remove. Another common way is to crack your password of your e-mail. One thing you I would recommend is a good program that detects and removes worms. One of the best programs is Norton Internet Security. Norton uses a little more of your computer resources than other programs so if your computer is slow you might need to go another route. Just finding the worm or keylogger program and removing it manually without the help of a program like Norton to keep them out, usually means you have to find and remove them often. Not all programs interact properly with some e-mail clients like outlook express, so check that the program you choose is compitable with your e-mail.

tyr running a program called superantispyware...you can google it and download and install. its a pretty thorough antispyware program that identifies alot of malicious stuff on your computer.
another wya of gettign rid of all malicious software is to back up your documents and stuff and reinstall. make sure to change all passwords when you do it so if he does know your passwords they are no longer valid. this includes, computer passwords and internet passwords and do not change them until after you redo your system in case there is a keylogger on your computer.

It sounds very much like a keylogger with an auto email option running.
Use all the programs mentioned by before also go to : http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
This is an online virus checker, takes a while to run (1hour plus) but it is free and very up to date - also it tends to dig very deep and will find programs that are hidden/masked.
After you have done all of the above then go to your email accounts, site accounts etc and change your password - make sure our new password is totaly random - dont use anything in it that links to you like birthdays, house #, old phone #'s etc
Also when you are changeing your passwords check account details and see if there are any alternative email adresses for password recovery etc. Make sure they are the adresses you want and no "new ones" have been added.
Good luck.
