I would like to know what types and names of software can be used and how dos net send messages are monitored. Is there a lot of work that has to be done to monitor net send messages from network. What steps do I need to take? I also would like to know if the system properties are cleared are all the net send messages cleared immediatly and would someone have to access my computer via remote software to trace the net sends.

NET SEND messages you receive are written to the Event Viewer log (the System log, I believe). So, if anyone can check your logs remotely (and there are countless products to do that, as well as just connecting in Event Viewer to the remote system) then they can see what you received.
As for monitoring, if someone runs a sniffer program on your network and filters it to monitor just your system, then they could pick them up. NET SEND is in clear text, so it would be simple to read the messagesin the sniffer.
Try Sniffer Pro if you want to read the packets. www.sniffer.com

hope this helps
