I am not sure about the Windows aspect, but if you are talking about someone snooping on your Internet Browsing, IM chats, POP or other format mails, I would assume it is practically impossible. What you might want to use is encryption to deter such snooping. For example for web surfing you might want to use https. Now every site doesnt offer this feature. Earlier I would have recommended safeweb.com, but now it is no longer available. There are sites which allow these serivices for a pay. You could also try JAP [anon.inf.tu-dresden.de]. It allows you encrypted surfing, but makes it slower. For IM, I am not sure... Are there IMs which allow encypted chat. I remember a posting on this newsgroup about something called Trillian, but unless the party at the other end supports encryption, it wont make a difference. You might want to try Sonork. It supports encrypted chat but both parties need to be using it. [www.sonork.com] For mail, I would suggest https://www.hushmail.com or similar sites which offer secure encrypted mail. Also it might be a good idea to use PGP to encrypt and sign your mails. In these things, the important thing to know is how much is enough. So use according to your need. Hope this is what you were looking for.
