    I need a spy software to monitor usage of others on my PC. Someone else use my PC to install some Malware, and my PC has some popups and runs slowly.
    So I need some tool or software which can let me know the usage of others on my computer.
    Anyone knows, please help me!:confused:

    If you PC has popups and runs slowly because of Malware, I would suggest you run AV first. A good free one is free.avg.com

    Malwarebytes is free and effective software to remove malwares.
    if you are really annoyed of your friends, put a password in your PC. if you cant deny them using your pc, let them login in a guest account only.

    AVG + COMODO Firewall + Spyware Terminator is a nice free combination and I would suggest you to start using it :)

    Hi, First you can try to reset your password and keep it secretly.
    Anyway, if you really need a spy software to monitor the computer activities on your PC,
    I suggest you try a keylogger. A smart one with free trial is here, http://www.remote-pc-spy.com

    Do not use your computer as administrator or root. Login and use your computer as a normal user or guest with no admin rights. You may need to create more than one user account so you can dedicate one as administrator and another one as a normal user for yourself. Next you need to clean up this mess. Try Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-aware, CC Cleaner, AVG or ClamAV, and ZoneAlarm. Try Firefox for your web browser with add-ons such as NoScript, AdBlock Plus, RequestPolicy, and BetterPrivacy. There is a ton to talk about here. But your first priority is to boot with a clean CD-ROM from manufacturer or backup disk (or Linux live-CD) so you can remove and clean up whatever is going on. In the future you may want to setup everything you do inside vmware, so when you experience a problem, just restore from the vmware snapshot and you are back in business immediately. Good luck.

    Do you want to spy some other computer or you need to clean your own computer ? If you need to spy, then try keyloggers which sends key strokes to your pc. If you want to prevent from these type of incidents, use anti-keylogger which doesn't send any of your details to other person.

    and yeah try malware bytes or spyware doctor from PC tools

    You should set a password on your PC in case if you didn't. Also you need to use some antivirus software. It's the common rules of security.

    password is probably one of the few options you can use to deter anyone using your PC. Or you can just warn them not to use it - it does work sometimes

    You should be very careful while browsing or downloading through internet because almost 100% of malware come from web sites. So, always download from trusted web sites and do not just accept or click on yes if a pop up is automatically opened while browsing a web site. Read that page thoroughly first.

    If you want, we can install team viewer and I can remove any malware/viruses on your computer, I have been doing this for 15+ years.

    Malwarebytes is a good software and it can really detect and remove malwares.

    Otherwise, can give a try to Avast free with the pre-boot scan.

    Both are free anyways, no harm :)
