This situation comes up more often than you might suspect. The computer use may be completely innocent, or the person may actually be trying to poke around your personal files to discover private information about you.

What exactly is Mindbloom? Is it a mind mapping application? Is it a goal-setting motivational tool? Is it a social network? Or is it a game?
