How can I disable this keylogger?
« on: July 28, 2010, 12:09:21 AM »
Does anyone know how to remove this mac keylogger from my device?
I know about that other post where people didn't tell of any because the guy seemed suspicious, but my mom has gone crazy and installed this keylogger on my mac and is using to spy on my activities. I am old enough to do anything but I don't do any bad things with computers!!
I tried to delete it but there seems to be a password, and also searched its software faq but no luck. Is there a way out technically?
I use mac os 10.5

Are you a spam bot?
There are plenty of posts on other forums, from people with different usernames, which are almost identical to yours.

Possibly is. Assuming they're not:

Hold down shift while booting to disable kernel extensions. This will disable it in that session, but if you reboot it's back.

To remove it permanently, hold apple-s while booting to go into single user mode. Then use the instructions it prints out to mount the filesystem, and use the basic unix commands to delete the kernel extension the keylogger adds. Somewhere in /Library/System/Extensions/.

I rule.
