Does anyone know how I would check my computer at work to see if any one
checked my email, etc. or to see if there is any spyware or such as that
on it.
I do not want to let the boss know?

Not really. Make sure that only you know your password. Admins can change
passwords, but they can't do it without your knowing it (as they can't reset
it back to what it was).
If you have an internal mail/groupware server like Exchange, admins can open
your mailbox if they grant themselves permissions - or they can grant your
boss permissions to open your mailbox. Same goes for any files in folders to
which your user account has "exclusive" access.
If you have spyware on your computer, why wouldn't you ask your IT
department to fix it?
Your computer is company property, not yours - so I'm not sure what you're
trying to do, or why...

Ask your IT department to scan your computer for spyware. Remember that
in a corporate environment, the computer you use is not "your computer"
and you should do nothing on it that is private.
