Spyware on mac!

Sepheh · 3 Apr 2012 at 12:00

Hey guys,

Think my ex has picked up a keystroke logger on her mac as I keep getting spam emails from her and she has already changed her password on it, which is a good sign of that right? I was just wondering if anyone has any good/free spyware removal software for the mac (I am a PC boy so ignore my ignorance here).

Cheers in advance,
Chris

I doubt she's picked up a keylogger, more likely that someone is just spoofing a 'from' address.

I'd agree with FEEK on this one have checked the email headers to check its source?

Change the password on a known "safe" device (a smart phone or something) and see if that makes a difference. It's probably not a keylogger on the Mac, but simply assuming it isn't doesn't really help because after all it is possible.
