I think he snuck onto your MSN/WLM and enabled History. You can go back and uncheck it. Another option is to lock down your MSN with MSGPlus!xboxrulz

Another way would be to change your passwords often and not have them saved on your computer. But what xbox said he most likely changed your settings to keep tabs on you. Of course the smart thing to do is stop talking dirty because who knows who you will be talking to, you might get an unexpected visitor.

Yeah you should get msgplus (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/), it has a load of features that you'll find usefull especially in your situation.You can save logs and have them password protected and encrypted. It also comes with it's own log viewer so it is pretty damn hard to hack into your logs. There is also a boss key mode allowing you to hide windows live messenger and disguise it in your system tray at a touch of a button, when you do this windows messenger can send an auto reply to people that try to talk to you when messengers locked.So in conclusion. To stop people getting into your account and reading logs you can change your password and recovery questions, install messenger plus or make sure that logging is disabled and you delete the logs.-HellFire

all what your saying is true, but is there a way to look into like, the hard drive or something, the computers history? because i think thats what hes doing! i just dont know how, like the entire systems history. its just.. confusing!

I dont use msn but im pretty sure theres a temp file somewhere that could be opened in notepad and even with the history off etc it will still be readable..ill do some research on it and get back to you..

Hi A7X-Girl,When you have MSG Plus installed it will by default save your conversations in your received files directory if I'm right. So disabling it in MSN Messenger doesn't help anything. You'll have to disable it in MSG Plus. Alternatively you could remove those files every time you leave the computer or create a little script that runs on shutdown or boot-up whatever you prefer.Good luck,bakr_2k5

maybe he installed a key-logger on your computer or some kind of monitor software for children. Try running adaware and spybot search and destroy, those are most likely to find key-logger.P.s. and otherwhise, try sueing him for not respecting your privacy (just kidding )
