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 hoping someone will read this and see if something fishy is going on? I did the steps provided (Which were excellently posted! Easy to understand). Just have no clue beyond that.


An added note. We had someone on 8/13 make 3 fraudulent charges on our iTunes acct. We closed the acct. and only use gift cards now. In 12/13 we had another fraudulent charge from EETsac on our c.c. and had to be reissued a new credit card.


Maybe someone's on our computer? Thanks.

joandja as has already been noted numerous times in this ancient thread you need to start your own Discussion. It's only by chance that I happened to read this one. Most of its qualified participants may no longer be subscribed to it.


The Conduit Community Toolbar spyware is installed on your Mac. While it alone does not explain any fraudulent account activity it is garbage you probably you do not want, and you will require specific instructions for getting rid of it. To ensure you do, please start your own Discussion.


Start with this page:


https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os


Navigate to your OS X version, then click the "Start a Discussion" link near the upper right under Actions.

Hello,


I'm having the same problem, can anyone help me and see if I have any keylogger or spyware in my computer?

Re-install Mac OS X if you feel someone has backdoor access. It will be easier to reinstall the OS. And you can't be certian what services are legit or have backdoors themselves.. Backup all personal data then Delete the OS and Re-install. Run Little Snitch and keep up with outgoing connections for a little while. Install a virus scanner and scan your fresh install of Mac OS X.

That will do nothing to remove a keylogger.

If one suspects a keylogger or other malware has been installed but does not know how to go about eliminating it, a complete system erasure followed by installing OS X and one's essential software will eliminate all doubt. Keyloggers aren't viruses and there is no product that can possibly detect every variant of one that may exist. Installing a "virus scanner" will do nothing beneficial and is far more likely to cause unrelated problems.

That is exactly what i said. Delete the OS and re-install. Maybe i should have neen clearer and said "delete everything on the harddrive..

Install a virus scanner and scan your fresh install of Mac OS X.

Yes, some viruses/malware are able to save data on other partitions. Yes mac os x has its own virus protection but so does microsoft. I would then remove the virus scanner after the threat is removed or not found since they use resources and can slow down your system .I'm not sure how a virus scanner will cause problems worse then the ones they are having. Its just eleminating a potentional attack vector.


If you are still having problems. Install linux 🙂. Use VMware to run linux or use a live CD or USB(safer). Make sure its read only. This way when making credit card payments you will be safe.

Mar 2, 2014 12:02 PM in response to Linc Davis

Hi there Linc,


I too am in the same boat, and was wondering if you would so kind as to take a peek at my results and let me know if there is anything suspicious or if I have a keylogger. I followed all of your instructions, and will post the text after this short note. THANK YOU so much, if you have the time to look at it.


Kindest regards,

Crystal

It all looks good to me, but like I said I don't know too much about it. I have a crazy ex and I want to make sure she's still not stalking me lol. Thanks!

Folks, please stop posting this output here! These are not helpful.


First of all, there's really no reliable way to determine whether you have a keylogger or other remote access tool installed. A knowledgeable user may be able to identify certain specific malicious programs from this output, but if nothing suspicious is seen, that really means nothing at all. There could still be something there.


Secondly, posting here is not an effective way of getting help. The knowledgeable people here are no longer responding on this topic. Linc Davis said it best here.

Wow, thank you for alerting us to this Thomas. It's almost hard to believe after reading the post you just shared that people STILL are specifically asking direct requests of him - *after* he just specifically asked them not to. At least in this case, we (unknowing/ignorant of the proper site ettiquette) saw someone get help on something and so asked for the same, but on the other article, the FIRST post is him explaining why he isn't responding to this one, how the site is supposed to work and what they should do to go about getting a response, should they still need one. People are either stupid or just selfish. I can't figure out which.


Anyways, apologies for the faux pas, and thanks for alerting me to the proper process.


Cheers,

Crystal

This is the output I receive. Would be great if anyone can help me on this. Analyzing this data is too complex for me (unfortunaltely), but I trust on the community support.


Thanks!

I think we've all been duped and apple didnt even see it, that "flashplayer.xpt " is the winner it's an executable script from the browser it's been in there waiting for awhile now and its attaching to all your framework files or better yet replacing them this is a rough one boys we need and the worst part is, I think its been sitting to long to matter now

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