My roommate's computer is out of work and she is using mine these days. I have told her not to open my private files. However, I find that there are always someone snickering behind my back. I am not sure whether she has opened my files and spread my secrets. I want to install a keylogger in my computer and to make certain what she has done on my computer. It seems that this Mac keylogger is very popular online, but I know nothing about it. Is there anyone who can give me some advices which keylogger I should choose? Thx a lot

Keyloggers are a good way to get yourself in real trouble, real quick, in my experience, unless you're an admin on a private network, and you have explicit permission to run such things.
Making a separate account for the roommate erases the need for a keylogger as well as the suspicions.
Also, watch placing links to site like that on your first visit..you can get mis-identified as a spammer...especially an !!!80!!! dollar one.

I'm with Billy here. A keylogger is overkill when you can create an alternative profile which will have its own settings and files – and won't be able to access yours if your profile has a strong password and you disable automatic login to it (a nuisance, but living with a roommate has its price).
As for the snickers, they may have nothing to do with your private files' secrets. They could be related to your hairdo, your choice in clothes, or any other physical characteristic of yours

Thank you for all your help. I have asked her to get her computer repaired, or to get a new one. As to my personal files, I have set a password as you told me. But franklying speaking, I do wonder whether she did that or not.

Do the files on a Mac have a "date/time last accessed" attribute, and is the system configured to update it? If not, there's no way to know after the fact, I'm afraid.
You can always try torture and/or scopolamine…
