Is this possible ????
They can take an educated guess at the number of devices (based on network traffic). They can also have a fairly good idea of what networked apps (FTP, Web, Mail, Kazaa, Limewire etc) you are running. This is based on the amount and type of network traffic your connection carries.

They can't (AFAIK) legally get into your PC though.
