It wouldn't surprise me if
It wouldn't surprise me if major publications are in fact providing people's IP addresses who post to their blogs to national law-enforcement (so to speak) without requiring a warrant. There is an active effort to create a totalitarian state in the US by the oligarchical elite. Orwell would be proud.
"Orwell would be
"Orwell would be proud."
Uh....I don't think you actually meant to say that.
George Orwell would most certainly not be _proud_ at what you describe, but one could argue that he would be _vindicated_ by it.

I am not an expert, but wording this answer differently:

is a remote desktop, so I think the other PC (your admin) can see what you see on your display.
Maybe you can block the PcAnywhere port or ports?
1. PcAnywhere might try new ports when any fail. You would need to experiment. Or you might need to allow only a few ports, and I don't know how.

2. Admin might have alert for when PcAnywhere fails. (I don't know if alert might be included feature in PcAnywhere?) Or admin might simply walk (on human legs and feet) to check why PcAnywhere seems blocked. :(
