Dar Mr Fogg
You seem to be describing a piece of software called in the "trade", a key board logger.
The software intercepts keystrokes and than either stores them secretly to be downloaded at will by a third party or relays in the keystrokes in real time to a remote device for inspection. [Tarq and Cattletruck -Software of this type may try to hide its self; Sorry of the omission]
Obviously these activities can be accomplished without the PC owners consent
A slightly more modern variant of this approach is to use the Computing devices built in cameras to relay both still and moving images captured by the device.
If I were in this situation [or anyone I knew of]. I would as a matter of urgency, cease to use the PC immediately; and get the potentially at risk party, to contact a solicitor, get professional advice as to the status of the potentially compromised PC and depending on the results, contact the police.
The key word in your OP was "seems" so because this is a public forum care is needed in giving any advice here.
Anything that I've suggested is purely in the context of what I would do, if i were suspicious that a personal computing device that I owned, were to be compromised and not in anyway shape of form, explicitly linked to the potential situation that you have outlined.
