Me too! Additionally, its a breach of privacy and installing malicious software on my system makes me want to kill her. What I want to know is if its really there. I've changed all my passwords, got a better firewall. What else can I do?

Scan with NOD32,and you can get rid of any viruses/keyloggers/malware/trojans/spyware/otherthingsthathurtyourcomputer
Other than that, not much.Maybe always log off when not using and use unguessable passwords.Try the anti-keylog password input:type the password in segments in random order.if you password was password,you might type:
pa
wo
ss
rd
But moving the cursor the the appropriate locations between letters.
General Omega:
Just make a fake Gmail account and use that for the time being.

Get a trial software like Kaspersky or AVG and run a scan.
Installing keyloggers:
[*]Is a breach of privacy.
[*]Records every keystroke and can and in most if not all cases will upload them to the internet
[*]Allows more threats to overtake the system.
Basically it forgets you over every which way. Your mother is an idiot and is over protective.

1. No stuff
2. False
3. False
Spyware coupled with a keylogger will do that, but a keylogger itself does nothing more than record keystrokes.
