How to detect something tracking on a computer, maybe there are proven search tools, maybe some programs?

Answer 1

Continually run porn after hours, including lunch breaks. If there are complaints, then follow. But you have an excuse, if that.
From a less provocative one, you can sit on YouTube or Habr during working hours. If there are claims (or a reduction in wages), then it is following. But for the sake of experiment, you should not write nasty things about your boss.
But seriously, surveillance should be spelled out in the regulations, with which you agreed in writing. Otherwise, surveillance is illegal. Although, in principle, the employer can evaluate the quantity and quality of the work you do, but I don’t understand how he will hide this from you. And if it turns out that surveillance was carried out, and you managed to expose personal correspondence and so on there, then it will not be you who will have to be afraid, but he ... responsibility and a fine. :)

Answer 2

Use 2 computers.
For home and work.

Answer 3

Run the task manager and see the full list of the full list of processes - if it turned out, then most likely not.

Answer 4

If there are no admin rights on the computer, it probably won't work (there are the most common programs / processes, but their absence does not mean anything). How to get them - in Google (immediately a short test - can you choose where to boot from).

Answer 5

Let's start with the question - is this a work computer or a home one? If the worker - you were obliged to warn that surveillance is underway, if the home - you have a fearless employer - he will come across a litigious person and squeeze him far and wide for interference in private life.
By technical means, and even without admin rights - in any way. It is better to assume that he is watching. You will be more whole.
