Negative SEO is the practice of trying to get your competitors' sites penalised by search engines, such as setting up fake link farms around them.

As well as being an appalling practice from a moral/ethical point of view, and one that could come back to bite you in the future, I have not seen any evidence of how effective this is at disrupting your competitors' position in the search results.

Check google webmaster tools and the like. You can see the links to your site, and submit requests to have them removed if they are unverified/negative SEO. Google is quite good at dealing with this.

Google works hard to ensure that a competitor cannot hurt your site by pointing bad links at it and if you notice a bunch of bad looking links pointing at your site, most likely they are not going to do any harm to you. In fact the vast majority of cases where people report negative SEO attacks end up not being negative SEO.
