how do i completely remove 'eBlaster for Mac' from my MacBook Pro? Someone got to my Pro, followed an IT person's instructions to reboot, create their own administrative account, install eBlaster, and now i'm at risk.
I guess you missed the previous posters implication ---
If you yourself are a student, child, or employee who's parents or employer installed the software, then your not going to get answers here from anyone as to how to remove it.
"someone" getting your MBP sounds suspicious.
If in doubt, and you personally own the MBP, then you can do a system erase and reinstall as well as a last resort.
"If you yourself are a student, child, or employee who's parents or employer installed the software, then your not going to get answers here from anyone as to how to remove it."
i'm a guy worried that some hacker is getting is sensitive info, understand now?
I just asked if someone knows how to detect it and erase it.
On a Mac, software like this can only be installed with an admin password. If you keep physical control of your machine, and avoid downloading software from questionable sources then entering your password during installation, you have nothing to worry about.
I'm suspicious about how it got on there in the first place, in the case of the OP. Without going onto detail, for obvious reasons, the methods employed by the person who 'got to' the machine suggest that person has the legitimate ability/reason to install monitoring software.
Okay, all, thanks for the attempts re eBlaster on my MacPro. Yes, it was installed as a program designed for Macs. (They have Windows versions too - see it on their site.) And i ran a Mac spyware program and it didn't detect it. The program costs about 100.00 and works too well. The way they did it was to reboot and then hold down a certain key or keys to go to an admin opp on my Mac, set up a new admin account, install the eBlaster, then go back and hide or erase the admin account. Voila, invisible. Don't ask me who did it and why. I just want to get it off and be able at any time, for example, to run a program or hit a series of keys (or whatever) and be told immediately if it or a program like it is running. Come on, there's got to be a simpler way to get the job done. Trust issues in my home? Yes. What can i say?
