When an unscrupulous person gains access to your computer, who do you go to to see what, if any "gifts" have been left behind, access portals added or whatever?

I don't mean to be offensive, however the saying goes, "when someone has physical access to your computer, it is not your computer anymore"...

Assuming you mean someone you know as opposed to a break-in, and you are wondering if they are spying are and such, some of the aforementioned malware progs should find key loggers, Trojans and such.
If you are meaning that they have opened some of your ports to allow access, then a port scanner will let you know what ports are open.
I have one on a site that I admin, however I am not sure if posting a link is permitted here. You can always search for a security port scanner... Be careful... Good luck!
