I took my computer to a repair shop for a hard drive change. Can they install something in my computer and see my hard drive or online information if they wanted to?Can somebody install a tracing device in your computer?Yeah, it is called a keylogger. But I dont think they would do that though. Not only would they lose their business they would be sued.
If you are worried run a virus/adware/spyware scan.

Can they install something on your system to monitor your activity? Sure. There are key logger programs that can be installed to log everything that you type on your computer to a file. If they have enough knowledge they could have that file sent to them when you're connected to the internet.
I'm not trying to %26quot;scare%26quot; you, but always know the people in your repair shop and make sure they're reputable.
