I'm a computer novice and I think someone may have hijacked my computer with a key-logger or something from a remote location.

Is that even possible?

I use gmail and I have a feeling someone has been diverting them or sending out emails on my account. I've got 4 different email addresses with them.

There is a message board I use to go to and the owner and I did not get along. Could he have remotely put something on my computer?

I scanned it twice with a couple of programs and they found nothing.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

btw.........I have Vista.

Four confirmed emails without Authorization? It sounds like the work of spyware to me. Can you run a scan with Spybot-Search&Destroy and see if it detects anything?

What I would suggest is that you change your passwords immediately, especially in Bank account and other important information. Do you have a firewall and anti-virus? Spend the time to run a scan with Spybot and your anti-virus.
