How can you tell if your laptop is being monitored by remote access or spyware?

In: Windows 7 [Edit categories]

Answer:

If it is running slower than usual, usually says if your are being monitored or not. If you think it is spyware, run a full computer scan with something like norton. If you think you are being monitored over a network, check how much data your computer is transferring by using task manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and clicking on the network tab. If you are not downloading any files or using the internet and the graph shows above 5% for more than a few seconds you might be being monitored
