If someone has access to your computer and administrator privileges, I don't know there is a lot you could do.

If it's just windows-like spyware you are concerned about, install a firewall that blocks outbound connections to the internet pending your approval. I think "Little Snitch" does this.

less little snitch is awesome... but if your worried about something like your dad or boss watching you... theres really not much you can do. They want to install software like key loggers.. there really isn't a way for you to find them if they are in the kernel.

Like was suggested if the system is not yours, then just do only the things that will not get you into trouble.
