can a person?
can a person see what words you type in on your keyboard, and if so what function they used to do this, how do I stop them, how did they do this? I know they need to wait until I login, but how are they doing this?

These people use something called a *keylogger
*keylogger-A software key logger can save the expense of purchasing a hardware key logger. In addition, if you can exploit a software vulnerability, a configuration error, or user gullability, you can install a software key logger remotely.
A good software key logger should use very little memory and very few CPU cycles, so as not to attract attention to itself. A good key logger should also hide itself from the Task List and from the Uninstall List. A good key logger should be invisible to the person being monitored. A better key logger will support remote installation and the ability to remotely retrieve keystroke logs. A better key logger should also be able to log only user-defined types of data, such as usernames and passwords.
Many software keystroke loggers are integrated with other surreptitious recording software, such as screen capture software, remote control software, or audio and video recorders.
To get rid of keyloggers:
use Mcafree Secuirity Center 2008. It is wonderful. Not only do they have a great Firewall but it has:

they would need to install something called a keylogger on your computer, try cleaning up your computer with a good antivirus software (by good I mena, no McAfee, no Norton) like Kaspersky or NOD32
