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.

Are the terminal commands posted by linc davis at the beginning of this thread unsafe?


No, they are fine.


However, for the purposes of this discussion, they are also useless. As John pointed out, it's possible someone may spot a known keylogger in those results, but that doesn't mean much. There could easily be something hidden that doesn't show up in those results. If you believe that someone malicious has had unsupervised physical access to your computer, or remote access via some remote access software you already had installed, then there's nothing on the planet that can determine accurately whether that system is safe or not. Your only option is to wipe the drive and reinstall everything from scratch, then manually copy documents only from a non-Time Machine backup. Or, restore your entire system from a Time Machine (or other) backup made prior to the incident.

Hi Linc and others!


Thanks for the informative article.


I have proceeded the instructions and my result is below. Can you help me out and let me know if anything strange?


Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

First, you should note that this topic goes back to 2012. Posting here is not the best way to get the most eyes looking at your problem. If further discussion is needed, I'd advise starting your own topic.


As to your question, both Abk and PKL are keyloggers (Aobo and Perfect Keylogger Lite). Someone would have to have installed them, or tricked you into running some kind of custom script or app that would have installed them. Most likely, the former is true.


If you don't know how those got there, and this is your computer (not a company computer, school computer, etc), then you need to erase your hard drive immediately and reinstall everything from scratch, then restore only documents from backup. For instructions, see:


How to reinstall Mac OS X from scratch


Be aware that there may be other things that have been done, so don't assume that removing those two keyloggers will be sufficient. Also be aware that there's no anti-virus software that can detect all possible malicious changes that a hacker with access to the computer might have made. So, yes, although it's unpleasant, erasing really is the only solution.


Also, be aware that the presence of a keylogger means that anything you may have typed should be considered compromised. This includes things like passwords and credit card numbers, but could include any number of other things as well, such as bank account numbers or social security number. You will need to change ALL your passwords (after cleaning the machine), alert your credit card companies and any other financial institutions, and consider subscribing to a credit monitoring service.


If this is not a computer that is on loan to you from somewhere, like your place of work or school, then the fact that they would be willing to log all your keystrokes should be greatly concerning, and you should not do ANYTHING on that computer that you're not willing for them to monitor.


(Fair disclosure: I may receive compensation from links to my sites, TheSafeMac.com and AdwareMedic.com.)

Jul 8, 2015 7:37 AM in response to thomas_r.

I've added some limited support for keylogger detection to my free utility "DetectX".


In v1.22, DetectX will confirm the presence of the following keyloggers:


    AOBO
    AMK
    Elite Keylogger
    LogKext
    PKL
    Specter Pro (apparently discontinued, but possibly still being distributed by 3rd parties)
    WebWatcher


I'll add more as time and knowledge allow (if any experts out there would like to share any others they know of, please contact me off list. A contact email can be found on the same site as my app).


There's a whole list of important caveats that anyone hunting down keyloggers should be aware of. Many are buried in this thread; I've summarised the key points here, at least insofar as they pertain to using DetectX:


http://sqwarq.com/detectx/keylogger-detection/


DetectX can be downloaded for free from here:


http://sqwarq.com/detectx


(Disclaimer: These are links to my personal website from which I may derive some form of compensation).

Jul 8, 2015 2:54 PM in response to John Galt


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.


How do you do a complete system erasure? Is this a reformat of the hard drive?

Hey Linc Davis! We had some email go around at the office and I received it and opened it. Apparently there was a good chance of a keylogger in it... I completed your steps and have pasted the results below. Any help would be amazing! I have no idea what I'm looking for...

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:


#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
