Q: keylogger-mac.com cookie

You may have visited a web page that placed a cookie in the browser.

Or if you obtained software from third-party sites that were not official

then you may have obtained other software in addition to your choice.

A few sites are notorious for packaging bad stuff; or if you clicked on

a pop-up that said your Flash Player needed an update, that'd do it.

And you can clear the cookies and browsing history; and set up how

the browser accepts or rejects cookies from web sites. There may be

adware or other malware in your computer. Hard to say.

The system in your computer is rather secure; but it is up to the user

to not introduce untoward elements into it, as an admin user, etc.

When was the last time you restarted?

Etrecheck may show the browser extensions or other items; or not.

You can see what I found when looking up 'keylogger-mac.com cookie' here:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=keylogger-mac.com+cookie%3F&t=ffsb&ia=web

{As I only read resulting links in this search, I did not go into any of these sites}

A search in your computer using Find may help locate more than one cookie.

Removing such items could be easy or difficult, depending on what you find.

Odd stuff such as mackeeper, cleanmymac, etc can add issues all their own.

Perhaps someone with more time & a boiler-plate reply can look into this further.

Or Linc Davis could give you detailed instructions on how to proceed.

Good luck!

Any website can leave cookies, including the advertising content on that website – which you may not even be aware of. You can control cookie usage in Safari's Preferences > Privacy. You can block all cookies but that will make some websites difficult or impossible to navigate. Even if you don't specifically navigate to a particular website, Safari's Top Sites (for example) can leave cookies, as do search engine suggestions. You can also consider the use of ad-blocking Safari Extensions, but none are 100% effective, and any Extension can cause unexpected behavior.

Now, I have asked about keyloggers before -

Quite possibly, performing a search using the search term "keylogger" or any variant of it caused an interest-based targeted advertisement to appear in the search results. That advertisement is very likely to leave cookies behind. If you do not want the cookie on your Mac just delete it and forget about it.

If you consider intrusive advertisements or the cookies they leave on your Mac an invasion of privacy, don't use a search engine (or browser, for that matter) specifically designed to harvest your personal information and track your every move.

To anyone who is familiar with the subject of keyloggers or the website I have mentioned, is this cookie a danger?

No, not all all, and its presence is not an indication that a keylogger has been installed. Given your description of how you use your Mac, you have no reason to suspect one is installed.

Among the search results (linked) I found several questionable references

to keylogger/cookies and the idea behind their motivation to track users ...

The other links I provided, can be helpful to see what is going on in your Mac

on a superficial level so you don't have to look deeply. Like weeding a lawn

without chemicals; it can be done without a backhoe.

Good luck & happy computing!

I just found the uninstall information in the user guide page: http://www.keylogger-mac.com/user-guide.html

hope it can help.
