Could someone be accessing my friend's email remotely and without her knowledge? Could someone be watching everything she does on her computer from another location? How can she get rid of this? HELP!

Neither of us are "chatters" on the internet and my computer runs Macafee. I was told there is a software available that you can load onto someone's computer that lets you monitor them or "spy" on them. Is this true?

Yes, the most common is called a keylogger. It records every keystroke the user types--including encrypted passwords. Keyloggers often display the program, and/or webpage, as well as the date and time. This information can be retrieved by another user at the same computer, or even emailed to them without any trace or knowledge of the person being "logged".I was told there is a software available that you can load onto someone's computer that lets you monitor them or "spy" on them.

Keyloggers can be installed directly on a computer, or even sent as an email attachment (often a greeting card).
Most keylogger programs appear in a Hijack This log. Have your friend post a log a we'll take a look. (see the "Hijack This Guide" in my signature).
Keyloggers can be installed by parents to watch their kids Internet activities, spouses, business competitors, or hackers looking for access to bank accounts, credit cards and other sensitive information.
