In my experience, there is no way you can tell -- even if you are an Admin -- not unless you are highly skilled and technically competent and possess detailed knowledge and understanding of computer and program behavior.

OK, but many folks have a fair amount of control over their work PC's. For instance, they can install software manage services, etc.

This "surveillance-ware", I am suggesting, can be thought of as a kind-of malware and be detectable in some way, either on the disk or as a running process.

I am surprised that no one has created something to check if such surveillance software is running or perhaps even actively screenshotting.
