I was wondering how I could discover if my computer is being 'monitered' or hacked into by an outside party?
I have a sneaking suspicion that it has been, but no idea how to go about finding out. Can I take it into a computer repair place or is there any way of discovering it myself?
Also, if it has been hacked or watched, what legal rights do I have?
Thanks :

Thanks for the reply.
I have cleaned out my computer the best I could but still have suspicions that it is being monitered, not because it is necessarily playing up or has any faults, but for other reasons.
Legally, can people do this?

This is exactly what you need to do as this part of the forum does not deal with this/these types of issues, thank you.

You could always use a command prompt command (I forget which one) to monitor and save a logfile to your desktop of all your network connections overnight. That should confirm if you see an IP you are unfamiliar with whether you are being watched or not.
