Default File Information

I would like to find out who sent files to my computer, specifically spyware/keylogger. Is this possible? I don't want to just get rid of it with a spyware remover. Can you please show me how I can do this, if not...I wouldn't mind paying someone to help me do this if it's possible. If it is, please give me a reasonable price and I'll get back to you. My email: Swtykim@hotmail.com

Your idea is nice, but you're better off just getting rid of it and getting on with your life.. people don't send you spyware, you download it.. whether you mean to or not

So it would be too much trouble to actually go through with how it got there in the first place huh? Thank You. I would have sworn that it is my boyfriend checking my emails (and even deleting them, even though it takes 24hours for aol to actually delete it, which is how I know someone is going through my email). But thanks anyways, I'll just probably change my password and get rid of the spyware. THanks again!

Yeah, see, the thing is, no one has access to my laptop but me (I already have a pw on my comp too), which was why I was wondering how the files got on my laptop in the first place. Thanks again!

At the end of the day. It doesnt seem likely he was hacked. Think about the odds.
