How can I check for keylogger and other malicious software on a used Mac

I purchased a used iMAC (Late 2012 21.5") and it has OSX 10.9.4.
How can I ensure that it is clean and doesn't have any password or key logging or other malicious software installed in it ?
I basically want to ensure I have a clean iMac at the start and not have to worry about security.
Thanks

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

HT1752 how can I check for SpyBots and other invasion things on my computer

I am beginning to have odd things happen to my computer. Someone told me to check for SpyBots, but I don't know how. I participate on Blog Talk Radio, and was informed they use these spybot things. How do I find out if there are invasive things like this affecting my computer?
In the last 2 days I've had two windows pop up saying I needed to restart the computer. This has never happened before. Any help anyone?

Forget about the advise on the spybots. That person doesn't have the foggiest idea what is going on.
You are having kernel panics. The most likely casue for kernel panics is hardware problems usually RAM that has gone bad.
Go to http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html for a good procedure on how to find out what is causing the kernel panics.

How can I check for viruses and malware on my MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS X (10.7.5). I don't have any anti-virus or malware software installed. My yahoo email account was hacked last night, after I had added the account to Mail on my mac (which obviously involved typing in my email account password). I'm now worried that I might have a virus or malwre on my computer as I've had that email account for years with the same password (foolish I know) and never had a problem.
Is there a way to check if my mac has any viruses or malware? Which anti-virus/malware software should I install to protect my mac?
Thanks.

Ever hear of this? I was using Mozilla, and now I'm scared, so on Safari. Even so, I'm worried about doing online banking until I know what's up. Despite that, I did online banking on Safari today, and the pages wouldn't load, or weren't clickable. Also, I'm getting blank screens on Safari. It all started after this happened a number of days ago, so I want to do a scan…. but newish to the Apple world, so don't want to screw things up even more (potentially) - by installing some incompatible malware scanner. From the other day:
has anyone's Macbook Pro ever been hacked? I was using Mozilla, just opened a twitter acct, was trying to cross link with G+, and all of a sudden all this weird stuff was happening: url bars erasing on its own (and fast), pages jumping from window to window, 2 unread msgs in Gmail later marked as read. I shut down and restarted. I don't know if it's a key stroke I did or if I may've been hacked. worried.

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

In addition to the last poster's suggestion - just so you know, it also depends on the email program the recipient uses as to how they will see any attachments - for instance, when I am using my Yahoo Mail, I am absolutely unable to view any attachment within the browser window - Yahoo forces me to download it; there is no way for me to check it (like a preview) to see if I want to download it or not.
And, FWIW: the window shown in the screenshot does not show on my version of Mail 5.1 (which is the latest for 10.7.2); the only one similar shows when viewing a message received with an attachment, not while sending one. So that must be a different version.

How can I check for the existence of an XML file in Illustrator Javascript??

I'm writing a Javascript to run at startup. I want to check for the existence of XML files and process them, if they are available. How can I check for their existence?

Your first line just sets a variable to a string value… getFiles() is a method of Folder… so
var InputXMLDir = Folder( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/" );
Not a PC user so I can't remember if the colon is OK…? As you appear to know the file name why bother with a folder get files anyhow you could just check if the file exists then do some thing…
alert( File( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/brackets_men_web.xml" ).exists );

How can I check for 'undefined'?

Hi,
I am creating a custom MP3 player where audio playback is
started by clicking on the title of the audio, but I also want to
be able to start play abck from the Play/Pause button. In order to
implement this dual approach, I am thinking of checking if a sound
has been loaded (with 'mySound.loadSound("path to sound") already
by the my titleButton.
I am thinking of doing this by checking the
'mySound.position' as that would be 'undefined' if there was no
sound loaded.
But how can I check it for being 'undefined', what woud be
the syntax? Itexpects a number so I tried -1, but that didn't work.
Or is there a better way?
Thx,
Nik
have a Play/Pause button and for it in order to

Found the answer.
The code is of course:
etc. //
if (mySound.position == undefined) {
// etc.
I had a erroe else where.

How can i check if a Final Cut Studio licence has been used or not?

Hello there,
How can i check if my 'Final Cut Studio 3 Retail' set has a usuable licence or they have been used allready? It is second hand and i no longer have a Mac and wish to sell the product. In the box it has 2 of the same serials so i gather it can be used twice?
Any help would greatly be appreciated
Kind Regards
Tim

If your serial is printed on the official sticker you will have no problems and should the new owner register it, any previous registrations will be deleted.
Officially you can only use it on one Desktop and one Laptop but there is no physical limit to the number of computers you can install it on.

I downloaded what I think is a Trojan to my ipad2 from the ios email client. It was this scam: We attempted to deliver your item. and then you download a link. How can I check for it?

I got a package delivery notice from my email and stupidly clicked the link. It locked my screen for a minute and all seems to be fine, but I see it's a password trojan. How can I find and get rid of it if its there.

Due to the same security features that mean there's no malware capable of infecting an iPad that hasn't been jailbroken, there's also no real anti-virus software for the iPad. The security of iOS (specifically, the sandboxing feature) would not allow an anti-virus app to scan your iPad. There are a few anti-virus apps, but they can only scan things external to your iPad, such as your e-mail or Dropbox accounts.
So, in short, yes, you're just panicking.

Can I exit from paintComponent? ...or... how can I check for invalid data?

I'm writing a calendar applet for a programming class and I've nearly completed it but I'm stuck at checking for valid data.
What seems to be happening is that paintComponent() is being called before actionPerformed.
In actionPerformed (when they click the button), it checks to make sure they entered a valid month (1 to 12). If the didn't it dispalys a message, but if they did it calls repaint().
But even if repaint() isn't called, Java still seems to call it before actionPerformed and I get exceptions.
So I tried checking inside of paintComponent() by using a simple if(...) return; but that doesn't seem to do anything... it just keeps going through with the method.
So -- Once the user presses my button I want to make sure the data is valid before repainting the screen. How can I do this?

I validate it in actionPerformed which is called by
the action listener... that is what you meant right?
The problem is that it seems paintComponent() is being
called before I can validate the data with
actionPerformed(). I need to stop paintComponent()
from always being calledMVC. (Model, View, Controller)
Initially the internal value of the data (the model) should be valid (or null with a check in the paintComponent method)
paintComponent (the view part) shows the state of the valid data.
You press the button.
actionPerformed is called (the controller).
It checks the value and, if valid, writes it to the data (model), then updates the view.
At no point will the view have to render invalid data, because the model is only updated after actionPerformed checks the value.
The pattern may be applied with different classes performing the three roles, or different methods in the same class (sometimes it's easier that way for simple cases).

How can I check for directory creation?

Hi,
I want to check whether I can create a directory at a particular location.
Let's say at c:\windows, can create a directory called c:\windows\mydir. But I won't be knowing the parent location (i.e., c:\windows here) at compile time.
And I would also like to check for creating a directory like c:\windows\mydir1\mydir2 (mydir1 may not even exist).
What I was doing was, I created the file object for my new directory (i.e., mydir here) and used the canWrite() method on the parent directory. But this method worked only when the parent directory existed. But how can check for a directory path like c:\windows\mydir1\mydir2 where I have to create both mydir1 for mydir2.
Is there any other methods that I can use to perform this kind of a check.
Thank you

I finally figured out a workaround, but i don't know whether this is a good way of checking. :)
import java.io.File;
public class TryMKDIRs {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          File file = new File("c:\\mydir1\\mydir2\\mydir3");
          boolean canICreateDir = false;
          if(false == (canICreateDir = file.canWrite())) {
               System.out.println(file.getAbsoluteFile() + " cannot be created.");
               File fileparent = file.getParentFile();
               while(fileparent != null && (canICreateDir = fileparent.canWrite()) == false) {
                    System.out.println(fileparent.getAbsoluteFile() + " cannot be created.");
                    fileparent = fileparent.getParentFile();
          if(canICreateDir) {
               file.mkdirs();
               System.out.println("Directory can be created. . .");

How can I check for a Virus?

Hello, I tried to use my internet banking the other day on my MacBook Pro but for some reason my password wasn't working. I phoned my bank and they informed me that it had been blocked due to a security threat they'd picked up. They suspect there is some sort of Trojan on my computer and someone is trying to gain my details. They said they would unblock my banking access once I had done a virus check on my computer.
Also- the other day I got an email saying that someone from the Ukraine had tried to access my emails. I'm not sure if this is related or not... but now i'm afraid there could be something on my computer! Is there a scan I can do? And also is there anyway I can check for a keystroke program as well? My bank mentioned this may have been used (although I am the only person with access to my laptop)
Thanks for your help! PS - My mac is 10.6.8

It is extremely unlikely that you have any kind of malware on your computer causing this problem. This is probably a canned reply from the bank, and it assumes you're using Windows.
Most likely, someone had been trying to remotely hack into your bank account. This may have been the result of someone gaining access to your e-mail account, which would provide them with a rich source of information about all your other online accounts, including your bank account. You should immediately change your e-mail password. You should also change the password for any accounts that use the same password as your e-mail account, or any accounts that are associated with the e-mail account. Make sure you're not using the same password for more than one online account... use a password manager like 1Password to keep track of them all if necessary.
In addition, you will need to closely examine any security questions associated with your various accounts. Your e-mail may provide a lot of information that could allow an attacker to guess the answers to those questions on your other accounts, thus bypassing the password. Change your security questions to nonsensical words or phrases, unrelated to the question, and keep a log of those answers in a secure place, such as in a secure note in your keychain (using the Keychain Access app) or in your password manager.
