This might sound weird to you all but im not to up on the computer stuff. but If I go to different game sites where others can play. Someone keeps finding me where ever i go on the computer . they can also see what i have in my cards. So somehow someone is watching me through the computer could this be possible>? I have never told these people what game rooms i down load and go onto yet they find me and cause me problems. So i guess my question is can people spy on you somehow when your on the computer know what you do where you go what you write in emails etc...
Please any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
thanks

Yes they can spy on you. If you are reading this on your PC then they know what you are reading... so expect them to cause trouble for you.
If your computer isn't protected then they could have installed a keylogger or even just be shadowing your screen entirely and watching everything you do in real-time.
Go buy an antivirus and a firewall IMMEDIATELY. By 'buy' I mean download a free one or purchase one but I advise you the following:
Do *NOT* download them on your PC as they can watch what you are doing and may sabotage or break it. Get someone else to download them for you onto a CD. Install them with your PC *OFF* the internet. Use the most aggressive level of scanning of the AV... if it's got it do a standalone scan (boot from the CD) first.
DO NOT enter any bank data / passwords on your PC until it's protected. Oonce you're protected change all your passwords, notify your bank that your PC was compromised and you need all your cards changing.
Keep your antivirus up to data. Keep your firewall running blocking anything you really don't need.

Yes, other people can find out what you are doing on your computer, because of spyware. To protect your computer and yourself, you should use a good anti-spyware software. Here you have some that you can download free:

Sounds like you might have a trojan like Back Orifice.

Most anti spyware software will get rid of them.

Some one on your trail in games rooms could be considered for fun...but it is a criminal act to tamper with your emails...
I would suggest you to change to game login name,
have a decent firewall installed...
