Spector Keystroke Logger

You may have to see if using an Uninstaller utility can help find
and remove all the parts of this keystroke logger.

And it may be sending information via the internet, in an out-
going connection in the background, too. Consider looking in
to see how this app/utility could help. This is shareware:

• Little Snitch:

There are several free-running downloadable uninstaller apps;
and a few are regarded as good and helpful, not junk ware.

• Uninstallers for Mac - free mac software downloads software reviews CNET:

{AppTrap, AppDelete, Amnesia: ones with the most stars by them may help.}

However, the matter comes to mind: how did this Spector logger
get installed into the computer in the first place? To install any
software, generally that would require an Admin password to do.

Another tack, is to read up on how to secure a computer, there are several
levels of interest and even professional level guides offer basic tips; however
if a tip suggests doing unusual things, such as booting in single-user or the
use of Terminal app, to do changes in unix, don't go there without intense
study. The Mac is generally secure, unless the user does not keep it secure.

For nearly pro-level concepts and methods on how to secure a Mac, see
these various security configuration guides, they are .pdf downloads:

There also is a scan utility by the name of ClamXAV that helps deal with
some malware and isolate it; but a keystroke logger really is not a viri, if
it is an app running in the background, or if someone else installed it to
monitor the use of a computer they have or had control over.

I've never had anything happen by itself, and am sure to use the
basics in computer security without engaging anything extra. In
basics, I mean I use the built-in Firewall that is part of OS X; and
I do not have 'autofill' turned on in my apps that have web access,
and there are many things I do not do. Perhaps my caution is an
exception; then again, most Mac users appear to avoid malware.

Perhaps someone will have another view on how to resolve the
first issue, removing the Keystroke logger; if using a third-party
Uninstaller won't do. (I have plenty of ideas, but wince at writing
them all down; it's almost like talking to myself. And I could do
the actual 'fix' faster than I can write about it. But, I don't need to!)

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

PS: a search of Spector branded keystoke logging software brings up
the company name, and the product would not be a malware that an
outside source could afflict your computer with...

+{Unless you've let a prankful 'friend' have full access to your Mac.}+

The initial installation of such a product involves a password in the OSX
and also there would be a password to access & change Spector's own
settings once it were installed. If you bought the computer used, and it
had this inside, you may be able to get help from Spector's support.

• SpectorSoft - Contact Spectorsoft:

They may be able to direct you to a downloadable official Uninstaller
just for their product: IF one of those free Uninstallers mentioned above
won't dislodge the keystroke logging software.

But: Who put it inside the Mac?
An employer, a parent, a spouse, an ex?

They have a variety of applications, normally they cost money.
