If your System Admin has installed VNC on your workstation, then yes... He can spy you freely

I have also heard that MSN messenger has a super weak security... I do not have the knowledge to sneak into the port used by MSN messenger YET... But I do not think that should be a problem if the security is thin.

You can use ettercap or ethereal so watch the packets if you are using *nix.
