The "administration" for my computer can see everything I do, knows all passwords, the whole 9 yards...I can't find the program that is allowing this to happen either...any help?

How do you mean?
Are looking for a way in Windows to allocate and remove accounts' permissions?

The whole idea of the "administrators" profile is that it is god as far as the PC is concerned... Be very careful messing with the administrators account.... dont piss the gods off....

its not an actual administrator just another user on the same computer but its a program that they can see all my passwords access all email of mine/private information(not like the internet is the most private place) but still...I was just wondering if anyone knew how I could find the program that is making this possible, because I can't find it

Are you on a network? Like at school / work? Because if you are, they can see those things from a network admin point of view, and it doesn't have to be an account on your computer?

Or... are you not on a network, and maybe have a keylogger (spyware) installed?

no it's not a network school or workplace. So I was assuming its a spyware or something of that sort but I can't figure out how to use it/find where it is. Because if they can use it I think I should be able to as well, if you see my point....

I'm not sure I'm understanding you. Are you the only person using this computer?

Do you mean they as in hackers? Or someone else on your computer.

Try running anti-spyware, etc. and see if you have a virus. Also, are you using unsecured Wifi?

Yes there are other people using the same computer. Not hackers, not a virus. I do know that much.
