Q: Trying To Figure Out If Someone Has Remote Access With Physical Access To My Comp.

I'm hoping L!nc Davi$, or anyone else can help me....I've spent about 8 months trying to figure out who has has remote access to my computer and possibly created a way to access it through my Network (They set it up).  I've narrowed it down to two "people" that have had physical access to my computer. I'm WAY beyond disabling screen sharing, etc. and the people I suspect may have access are through a previous employer and someone very close to me.  Both had access to my computer and the latter has had constant access to my computer and set up my Wifi, and has spent 30 + years working with everything Apple related and works with computers for a living.  I honestly cannot begin to put in a post everything that I have found, and do not currently have the resources to go to the Apple Store or have someone who knows enough (and that I trust) to help me with this issue.  This is a shot in the dark, but after close to a year of following your (Linc) posts which have helped me out tremendously, I'm hoping I can get help from you, or anyone else, as to where to start with a post that will pinpoint the issues I'm having, without posting the insane amount of data that I've collected and saved.  Yes, I'm opening myself up to trolls railing on me, but at this point, whatever. ;-)  I figured I'd start with what I found on EtreCheck and go from there.  And I don't know if it matters, but I've never had an "at_me" account...and as I scanned it pretty quickly I didn't see anything in this that has been a major concern..except the sudden RAM issue:

    If you believe that someone with physical access to your Mac has compromised it, there's really only one course of action that you should take.

     

    1) Make a "clone" backup of your system onto another hard drive, using a tool like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.

    2) Erase the system hard drive.

    3) Reinstall OS X from scratch

    4) Using the clone backup, manually copy documents - no settings, apps, etc - to the new, clean system. DO NOT use Time Machine or Migration Assistant to restore data, as that will restore too much.

    5) Secure the new system by enabling FileVault (in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault) and enabling a firmware password. This should prevent any access to the system, and thus should prevent any future software hacks.

    6) Even with all these precautions, you should still do everything you can to keep the machine out of the hands of anyone untrusted. Do not leave it unattended while someone untrusted is present.

    Hello Kitty,

    There is nothing out of the ordinary on your EtreCheck report. EtreCheck does not report the status of any sharing services. If you are concerned, make sure all of your sharing services are turned off. The memory errors are nothing to worry about. They just mean that you have been running a lot of software lately and ran out of RAM at some point. There may be a performance issue to worry about, but not a security problem.

    Uninstall Avira Antivirus. It is not needed and may cause problems.
