I had a cable installer at my house about a year ago, he didnt want to install any software, but he did ask to use my computer. He accessed IE from my windows 98 machine and accessed his personal account for comcast to check all the line settings for my house I presume. After doing that he asked if he could erase all my rmep internet files and cookies becasuse he accessed a secure comcast site and he needed to erase anyting that would have his password, etc.. I said sure, but right as he was packed up and ready to leave I said, "so it would be bad if I had a keylogger installed on my machine that just saved all your keystrokes to a text file right?" he looked sort of scared, and said you dont have that do you?, no of course not I replied.
