Please rephrase that question.

as i decipher it ...

i believe the OP wants to know if he can determine that *someone* has been snooping around in his computer via the/a usb/flash drive port ...

using a program such as "tails" : https://tails.boum.org/  , or some other bootable/forensic (possibly linux based) *tools* loaded on a usb "stick" .

the OP also wants to know if there is a way to tell if this has happened/is happening .

 

the answer , without any additional software is "no" .

the "third party software" may allow the monitoring of the usb ports at all times and thus be able to log what port was accessed , the data in and out of that port and at what time it happened .

Hi thanks for the reply and sorry if my statement doesn't make sense. I merely want to know if there is a way to know if someone have been snooping around my use drive via my computer without using any third party software. CWB thanks for your reply after looking at what you wrote I finally know how to phrase my question but I guess the answer will most likely be the same .

to the best of my knowledge , the answer would basically be the same .

 

perhaps someone else can shed some light on this subject ...

i believe that windows is capable of logging certain activities , but these "monitoring/logging programs" may not be inclusive to your needs .

it may be that certain "monitors" are easily thwarted .

many of the forensic *tools* require that the machine be re-booted and then the deed(s) can be done .

i am fairly certain that any "monitoring program" that is resistant to normal bypassing procedures would have to be implemented at the bios/lower level (so to say) .
