How can I tell if someone is accessing my PC through VPN?

Question

I've just come into work to find that my outlook viewing settings have been changed and that several emails have been downloaded from the server after I logged out and went home. At first I thought it may have been my boss looking for a document but he says it wasn't him and there's no reason for him needing to lie to me.

We have recently had soem IT guys in to set up a wireless network and VPN. One of them seemed very keen to take a look at my laptop and clean it up - could just be my paranoia!

I'm wondering if it's possible someone has managed to switch on my laptop (it's plugged in by a cable to the network as the wireless isn't working after this guy changed the settings) remotely and look through it.

Does anyone know how I can tell when it was last logged into (Windows XP) and how I can tell if anyone's looking at it or has looked at it remotely?

Your help will be most appreciated.

Answer 1

you can right click on 'my computer', and go to 'manage'. under this- which is computer management- you can go to the event viewer and check the logins among other things.
