Anything look sus on my Activity Monitor?

> i need to know if there's anything out of place

I don't think anyone can answer that for you.

Sure, there are some (very few) known malware apps that might stand out, but if you're worried about your roommates, I'm guessing they're not sophisticated enough to install the heavy-duty stuff, and are much more likely to have done something like enabled Remote Desktop/Screen Sharing via System Preferences. Since that's going to be part of the standard OS install, no one here can tell if it's running nefariously, or legitimately (you might have it on for other reasons).

Similarly, there is no 'one true list' of running apps since everyone runs their system differently, with different apps for different use cases. The presence (or absence) of any application on the list doesn't tell us whether it's meant to be there or not since we don't know your use case.

Anything on here look like it could be used to keylog or remotely view my screen or anything like that?

I tried to have the one listed at the bottom of one screenshot appear at the top of the next and there are a few duplicates where things moved up/down, just in case. I tried printing as pdf, but it was blank.

Also, for future reference, is there a way I can narrow it down without having to look everything up? Like can I rule out certain users or something?

What is the issue exactly...?

What makes you suspect nefarious activity of some sort?

Is your macOS up to date?

To be honest I can not be trolling through some 32 screen shots...

So…what’s the central issue here? What happened?

Malware can certainly mimic legitimate apps, among other issues with this general approach toward detection. And key loggers can exist within common sorts of cables.

If you suspect a catastrophic security breach, erase and install from known-good sources, don’t restore your backups, and rotate your credentials.

Yeah, copying over files and documents from your backups is probably safe, but then it’s also possible to boot Linux inside a PDF, and other document-embedded macro languages have had issues for many years.

The issue changes nothing.

Your adversaries may be incompetent, or they may well add a backdoor that allows access.

Or they can copy credentials for later.

Or they can set up an external camera with a view to where you work.

If you suspect compromise, that means your passwords and passcodes are best assumed to be compromised, and files and scripts compromised, and that in aggregate means reinitialization, and rotating your passwords and passcodes, and don’t restore.

And even if you do find a keylogger here, everything else is quite possibly still compromised, passwords and all.
