Windows users just need to open up a program called the Event Viewer, which logs a ton of different things that your computer's recently done. In order to find out when it last awoke:
- Head to the Start menu and type "Event Viewer" in the search box. Hit Enter when its option comes up in the menu.
- Double click on Windows Logs in the left sidebar, then click on System.
- Right click on System and choose Filter Current Log.
- In the window that pops up, look for the Event Sources drop down. Choose Power-Troubleshooter from this dropdown and hit OK.
- Look at the middle pane of the Event Viewer window. At the top, you should see all the applicable recent events, in descending order of time. Find the time you suspect your computer was used, and see if there are any events. If there are, you can click on them to see more details, like what woke up your computer, in the bottom middle pane.
You'll need to have a general idea of what time the snooper did their business, but if it was recent, it should be pretty easy to find in the logs. If you find that it was used while you were away, you can then check out your Recent Documents, browser history, and other such locations to see if the snooper left any tracks behind. Of course, the next step would be to install an anti-theft program, in hopes that they try again and you can catch them in the act.
