i need to put spyware onmy computer to make sure my roomates are not using it while i'm gone. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It would be better to lock it down with a bios level password.

Answer 2

No don't make the mistake of putting spy-ware on your PC as most are rigged and u';ll end being hacked or virus ed.

For security against room-mates ( believing u have Win XP )
put a password on your PC or a logger log ( which records the last time the PC was used )

The first option putting a non-penetrable password be better rather than spy-ware which are potentially harmful
