where is plenty of ways to get into computer
especially if you have physical access to it

you can use password reset floppy disk to change admin password on
winXP/win2000 with out even loggin into it.

also you can download hundreds of trojans to have ability to login to this
computer at any time and do virtually anything
where is no simple way to detect trojan if it was modified by this person -
antivirus software won't detect it.

also where is keyboard loggers that will log all keyboard typings - so all
the password will be easy to see

and of cource wireless network is breakable with easy - so he might setup
some wireless bridge and log all her internet activities

anyway - here is some tips
you can install network loggers like "Jammer" to see all network
connections to the computer at any time
you can also setup firewall to block certain IP's

but if computer is already infected with tojan like "7th door" for example -
it will be hard for you to remove it, this "jammer" will report to you of
all the programs on your computer that trying to access network so you will
be able to block ertain programs or delete them

also where is programs to encrypt files, it will create virtual hard drive
(it will look like a normal one) and at the end of the session it will
encrypt it so it will be impossible to get access to it - you can install
all traceble software into this virtual ecnrypted drive


hope it helps..
