How can I protect myself from having monitoring software put on my computer? My guy friend - possible BF wannabe, who is computer saavy, gave me his old laptop computer a few months ago.
Now he says he has a 'present' for me, and says it will take about an hour to get it up and running and for me to learn to use it, and he seems insistent on helping. I'm just getting weird vibes from him as I put up boundaries about how much and when I see him.
I may be off base here, but what if it is a computer program? Can monitoring software be bundled with other programs? How can I make sure he doesn't put anything weird on my computer?
