How to delete spyware and keystroke software somone put on your computer?

Someone recently put some spyware on my computer, and i'd obviously like to find it and delete it. I'm not very computer savvy, and I don't know the different types of spy programs used, therefore I don't know what to look for. I would really appreciate it if anybody could help me out , as I don't want this person accessing my personal information.
Thanks!

How do you know they put spyware on your computer?
Last time I heard, there's no spyware for Mac.
If you really are worried about it, get yourself a copy of Little Snitch:

Also turn off "Automatically log in as:" in System Preferences > Accounts > Login options.
Hope that helps a little.

  • How to delete Analysis and Analysis Project in SDA ?

    Hii
    Please tell me how to delete Analysis and Analysis project in SDA .??

    Hi Rahul,
    in most cases the Identifying Check Item might be used.
    The rating of each Check Item will be determined by the assigned Check Steps. The rating of an Informative Check Item does not contribute to the rating of the Analysis Structure (e.g. a business process step etc.), while the rating of an Identifying Check Item does.
    The purpose of such behaviour can be explained with the usage in different Analyses.
    In the Analysis Project one will assign Check Steps to an Informative Check Item in cases where you want to get processed additional Check Steps, that might be not yet validated in that combination and/or that might cause higher Analysis runtimes.
    During the creation of an Analysis one can control to include these Informative Check Items for the current Analysis. With the results of the Informative Check Items one might refine the Analysis Project, which will be used for the next Analysis created.
    The data for workload Check Steps are coming from the workload statistics in the managed system and the values displayed are dialog steps performed in the period(month) selected.
    I hope that the information given is helpful somehow.
    Best regards,

  • Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Her parents would like to know how to delete such files and then how to prevent our daughter from doing it.

    Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Drives us crazy since we continually have to reload these files. Her parents would like to know
    1. how she did it (delete files) and
    2. how to prevent her from deleting files in the future.

  • How to delete documents and data off of iphone 4s

    Im trying to free up some room on my phone. I got rid of some apps and movies and did what i can but when i plug my phone in there is more Documents & data then i have as apps and music. i just want to get ride of some documents that are saved in my phone but  dont now hot to delete them.

    Document & Data on iPhone is junks files including browser history, cookies, logs, caches of photos and videos, database files stored by your apps. You’ll notice that some apps while being very small themselves have accumulated a lot of data. An example of this is shown in the image below, you see that the Facebook app is 109 MB whereas the Documents & Data stored is 1.2 GB. This 1.2 GB is what goes into your “Other” data.
    These apps on iPhone don’t provide a way to delete Documents and Data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app is not the best option here. With the help of CleanMyPhone or PhoneClean you can delete the documents and data on iPhone without deleting the app itself.

  • How to delete photos and videos from iphone after transferring them to iCould?

    iPhone 4S
    iOS- 8.1.1
    After transferring photos and videos from my iphone to icloud, how to delete photos and videos from my iPhone 4S 

    Thanks to both of you for your replies.
    For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
    I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
    Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
    Thanks again for your replies.

    Can you pinpoint what 'diagnostic and usage data' you are referring to?  More details would be helpful including the model MBP you are using and the OSX.

    You would have to restore the iPad and set it up as new. The data would eventually come back as you use the iPad so you may as well not worry about it. It uses very little space on the iPad.

  • How to delete Folders and Files older than 10 day ?

    If I use this below command, I am able to delete only the files and files in sub-folders older than 10 day,
    forfiles /p "D:\Testing\Sample" /s /d -10 /c "cmd /c del /s /q @file"
    Please help...
    Thanks

    Hello Raman459,
    please see this blog entry:
    http://elderec.org/2012/02/scripting-delete-files-and-folders-older-than-x-days/
    Your command is ok for files, for folders you need to do another command:
     forfiles -p "D:\Testing\Sample" -d -10 -c "cmd /c IF @isdir == TRUE rd /S /Q @path"

  • New software is available for your computer?

    I hope this is the right place to post this. I currently have iLife '08 and iWork '08 and I'm running Leopard 10.5.8. Every Sunday evening I get a software update request from Apple "New software is available for your computer." The update is for iLife Support version 9.0.4. In the extra comments section it says "The update is recommended for all users of iLife '09, iWork '09 and Aperture." (I do not have Aperture.) Do I need this update? (Is it for '08 too?) If I do not, how do I permanently keep this update from showing up? Right now, I just keep canceling and it reappears the following Sunday.

    ...how do I permanently keep this update from showing up? Right now, I just keep canceling and it reappears the following Sunday.
    I don't think there's any way to prevent just this update from showing up, but you can disable Software Update announcements. In System Preferences>Software Update, you can disable notifications completely, or have them show up monthly instead of weekly. (But then you might miss something you do want, so keep checking manually.)

    It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
    You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac.  I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
    And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.

  • OS X could not be installed on your computer. The OS X upgrade couldnt be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and cant be repaired. After your computer restart, back up your data, erase your disk, and try installing again.

    Beware!  When you initialize your boot disk be sure that you specify "Journaled" and not "Case-sensitive, Journaled". Previous OSX installers would check this and give an error message. Mavericks does NOT! If you install using "Case-sensitive" many apps will not work.
