Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I believe that I have a keylogger or some sort of spyware installed on my mac, please help!

I have many reasons to believe that my ex boyfriend installed a keylogger or spyware on my macbook. I have done a lot of research and cannot find the answers that I am looking for. I have taken a screenshot of my activity monitor in hopes that someone can let me know if anything looks suspicious. It appears fine to me, although I am confidant that I something is installed and being used regularly to snoop and creep my every move on my computer, please help me, any advice would be helpful. As a footnote I have installed macscan and completed a scan and it came up with nothing... I am not being paranoid my ex has basically confirmed my suspicions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.


The following procedure will help whether your system has been modified. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.


These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.


Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.


Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.


Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.


Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.


When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.


Step 1


Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:


kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'


Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.


Step 2


Repeat with this line:


sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'


This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.


Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.


Step 3


launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'


Step 4


ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null


Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.


Step 5


osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null


Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.


You can then quit Terminal.

I'm nowhere near as experienced as Linc Davis as far as interpreting the outputs, but I can tell you one thing for sure:

You have A LOT of bloatware installed. Definitely uninstall MacKeeper. I didn't paste all of the appropriate lines above, but... you have a lot of anti-virus, dude! You don't need any! Mac AV is bloatware. Give ClamXav a try if you require anti-virus. You definitely don't need/want multiple anti-virus programs installed. I see that you have VirusBarrier, MacKeeper, Little Snitch, etc.

Again, not a good idea to have multiple AV programs installed. MacKeeper needs to go, Kaspersky's junk as well.



I know the reason you all install such programs is probably because you are terrified of getting keyloggers and use these programs to protect you. However, I think that many AV software vendors simply do not understand the Mac operating system, and think that they can take their code for Windows and slap it into an OS X version. MacKeeper is simply a scam: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691, and others are known for false positives, or not catching actual malware/keyloggers.


There aren't many good AV programs out there, but try ClamXav or Sophos. Again, though, you probably won't see great benefit from such software. Apple has their own technologies integrated into the OS like XProtect and GateKeeper.

I know for certain that ClamXav won't detect any keyloggers and I doubt that Sophos will, either. The reason is because almost all A-V software is designed to find malware and by far the majority of spyware applications are commercial or hack software that serve legitimate purposes, requiring physical access to the computer for installation.


The only app that specializes in this area that I'm aware of is MacScan from SecureMac. Unfortunately it has a couple of well know deficiencies. It tends to give false alarms, so you need to be certain that it has correctly identified anything it finds or risk crippling another app or even the OS. It also failed miserably in Thomas Reed's malware testing (see MacScan disappoints), so I would not recommend it be used in that capacity.

com.BT.kext.bpkkext & similar lines...

I don't know wceprv.framework - anyone else does ? (maybe it was part of BPK)


Mark - someone had full access to your computer, enough to install the first, and presumably you've no reason to think that they stopped with BPK... Nothing prevents such a person from installing things with innocent or recognised names, so viewing a list isn't enough when the intent may be malicious.


You should consider this : backup your data twice, then erase & reinstall, selectively importing just your user files, no apps or add-ons; & changing all passwords/security questions/even email addresses associated with accounts where possible.


I'd also suggest starting a new thread of your own for further questions.

Jul 29, 2013 10:20 AM in response to meltymax

I have this question too. My emails and twitter account were compromised. Often I have to change passwords. So who's using my passwords and how do thye know? My Mac seems slow and grinding the gears.


I followed your steps for terminal and got this result. There is a long list of fonts included for some reason. At the very bottom I noted this :

'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null

iTunesHelper, Kodak EasyShare Wireless Listener, AdobeResourceSynchronizer, SPanel


Anything suspicious on this list that I must remove? If so how? Your recoomendations are highly appreciated. Edith

See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address.

There is a long list of fonts included for some reason.

You seem to be using Page Layout software which normally come with their own font collections, so I'm not sure why you are surprised about that.

At the very bottom I noted this :

...

iTunesHelper, Kodak EasyShare Wireless Listener, AdobeResourceSynchronizer, SPanel

What's your question here? Is there something you don't recognize.


And while were at it, is there any software mentioned in the rest of the list that you don't use any more? Perhaps it was not properly removed. If so, that could be contributing to the slowness you are seeing. Software should always be removed by running an un-installer provided by the developer and not just by dragging the application to the trash.


Nothing jumps out at me from the list. You should be aware that in order for somebody to have installed a keylogger you would have had to give them physical access to the machine or shared access to it from your network. A-V software is not generally designed to detect them either since they are all commercial or hack software that has legitimate uses. The only one the specializes in that is MacScan from SecureMac and it has problems with false positives, so make certain that what it identifies is actually something you don't want before deleting it. It also isn't very good at identifying malware (MacScan disappoints).


This is a very old thread and you may notice that none of the folks who have posted to it lately have received any responses. If a day or two go by and you haven't heard from anybody else, consider re-posting it as a new topic and you will start to hear from folks.

Jul 29, 2013 2:32 PM in response to MadMacs0

Thank you very much for your time and for your input - much ease to my mind.


Great suggestion for removing inactive software. I was using the demo version of MacScan and they usully removed tracking cookies.


As for fonts, I purchase and share fonts. I use Quark, Adobe CS 5.5 for magazine layout and design. Sometimes a corrupt font will interfere with PDF output. Just can't tell by looking at them though.


I did not recognize:

Wireless Listener at the bottom

and

tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'


No need to reply if they are OK. Thanks again.

  • Type Command-Space and begin typing "font book" without the quotes until that app is highlighted, then hit the return/enter key.
  • Select "All Fonts" from the left-hand column and then the first font listed in the right-hand column.
  • Select "Select All" from the Edit menu or type Command-A.
  • Now select "Validate Fonts" from the File menu and wait for it to finish.
  • That should tell you what you need to know.

I believe the full name is "Kodak Easyshare Wireless Listener." My guess is this is a feature of a Kodak camera that you use to transfer pictures over your Wi-Fi system.

tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'

That's part of what you pasted into Terminal to get a list of all the Login Items which you can find in System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items tab.

Aug 6, 2013 7:55 AM in response to meltymax

These are my results.. I'd hate to jump on the band wagon.. but a while ago I had a 'friend' install some software and I've reformatted... gotten a new drive... etc.. but I still think my information is being hacked.. If I check my network status it shows that I have double information going out than coming in. Maybe thats why my internet is **** slow. Any advice or anything you see here that jumps out at you as weird?

Have you been experiencing slower performance on your Mac? If so, then it sounds more like a virus. Keyloggers are NOT viruses and this day in age technology is so advanced that it would not slow down your systems performance. Keyloggers are virtually undetectable unless you do a scan of the system. Unless you are handeling very sensitive and valuable information I do notsee why you would have a keylogger issue. Although designing them is trivial, installing them without being caught is hard. Has anyone had access to your Mac? Maybe a repair shop, or law enforcement? Law enforcement officials are notorious for installing keyloggers.Anytime they ask you "can we look through your computer or phone" always answer NO. They are not supposed to look in your computer and open files etc., right procedure is to power down the system and make a bit stream copy of the Hard Drive then return it to you, and you should present does not take long to do.Do you use a wireless or bluetooth kepboard by chance? I noticed from the info provided you have legitimate software on there , such Adoabe, a Pentablet which all come from legitimate sources. Maybe a roommate could have had access to your system? It is very difficult to "spy" on your computers activity without having had physical access to it at some point in time.

I believe that I have a keylogger or some sort of spyware installed on my mac, please help!
