How can I find the programs installed on the computer without my knowledge?

Original title: How can I find out what my ex-husband installed and changed on my laptop when he stole?

My ex-husband stole my laptop and I suspect that it has installed programs that have compromised my safety, accounts, logins and passwords, files, etc...  I don't know what to do...

He changed the password to the administrator, re-installed Win7 & Vista on it there now.  He refuses to do anything when he understood outside the deletion of all without making a backup.  However, I have been coming on several files and programs that were downloaded and exported to Best Buy PC App that there a subscription paying with.
If I don't take my question properly or write in the wrong forum, please inform me. :)
Any feedback you can provide will be most appreciated!
Thank you very much!

No matter how much you dig around it's going to be difficult to be sure that you have a completely clean install of Windows.

What OS was originally installed on the laptop. The COA below sticker should tell you and it was originally Vista but you had Windows 7, it is possible that he tried it back to Vista to recover 7 license.

You can see the list of programs and features in Control Panel to see what is currently installed. However, the only way to be sure would be really to save the files, you must maintain and run the process of recovery if possible. Most of the PCs/laptops have a recovery partition which will reload the disc to factory specifications with the right sequence of keys at startup. Each manufacturer has a different way of doing the recovery mode, but if you Google the machine to followed by 'recovery' you will almost always get a help site to guide you through the process.
