Is there a keylogger or tracker on my computer?

Hi, I have reason to belive there might be some sort of spying software/keylogger installed on my computer without my consent. I am 18 and the laptop I'm using was purchased for me by my mother about a year or two ago. She's one of those paranoid mothers who logged all my aim chats and stuff as a child and I'm afraid she is still set in those ways. I think, however, at 18 I deserve my privacy on my computer. Sometimes when I'm talking to her she likes to joke that she should go through my laptop and see what I'm drawing (I do alot of art on my laptop that I don't like to show people cause I'm self-concious about my work.) and when I tell her she couldn't get on if she tried she makes this mocking face like she knows something I don't. This has made me very paranoid as I really don't like the idea of her snooping through my files and stuff. Shes always boasting about how good she is with computers, but I once made up a bunch of computer gibberish non-sense and she tried to look like she knew what I was talking about...So maybe she is just bluffing? I was looking though /Library/LaunchDaemons and found the .plist file relating to the program Undercover which moniters your laptop in case it's stolen, sends screenshots and takes photos with the webcam. I never installed this program. I DID install the program PREY just in case someone ran off with my laptop in Starbucks or something. What I want to know is if there are any other keyloggers or trackers installed on my computer so I can get rid of them. I ran some commands in terminal and these were my results-

Does any of this look funny to you? Are there any other tests/programs/comands I can run to do a more thorough check? Sorry if this seems like a silly issue but my privacy matters to me. I don't do anything horrible on my computer but I also don't think I should be being watched 24/7 like a child.

Hi Linc,
I had the same question as everyone else. Here is my output. Do you know if I have tracking software installed? Thank you so much for your time/help. Your expertise is much appreciated!

Attachment downloading--is there a way to track percentage of big downloads in Apple Mail 5.2? (OSX Lion)

I have a satellite internet connection and have trouble with big downloads and connectivity in Apple Mail. I've discovered the Window/Activity button to track the progress of those downloads, but all it gives me is a rolling barbershop bar that never goes anywhere. Right now I'm trying to download fifteen attachments that came with a message, and some of the files (primarily pdfs) show up in their designated folders--others have not. Is there a way to track percentage on these downloads?
Also, each of the files seems to have three progress bars rather than just one.
All files are primarily 3-4MB.
Thanks,
Melissa

The inconsistent message text view and when the text for an received message is very small is caused by the sender using HTML for message composition.
Copied from Why HTML in E-Mail is a Bad Idea.
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window. This is especially problematic for visually impaired persons.
The Mail.app does not include a preference setting to convert all text for received messages to RTF or Plain Text so what John provided does not apply when receiving a message that was composed in HTML.
You can do as woodie provided or with such as message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and what John provided will apply and it also applies when the sender uses RTF or Plain Text for message composition.

Is there a way to track modifications within a specific field on a contact record?

Is there any way to track and report on modifications that have been made to a specific contact field? We have an API synch set up with an external database. It currently writes to Eloqua when a customer initiates a change to their information in the external database. The field actually shows what they've changed on the external record. Since we're sending campaigns that encourage people to make these updates, I'd like to be able to run a report to show how effective our campaigns are, but since I don't have a snapshot of what was in the field before the campaign, I don't know how many people have actually made changes. Basically, I'm looking for a report that will show me "X" number of records were updated as a result of "XY" campaign.

I had hoped Mr Number would keep up to date, but White Pages says they have no plans to further the app. I asked them why they had 2 apps at this point. They said it was because some people preferred the user interface of each one or the other. I know that MN can import from contacts to the block list, WP does not. Neither incorporate G+, only LinkedIn, Twitter, and FB. Most all ID apps have done the same thing for me, especially with a social media account linked. The only time I've had to do a look up is if it is just not found and I know I don't know who it could possibly be, or if it happens more than once. Mobile numbers are weird though: WP has found a couple automatically, MN would find it if I looked it up, but at other times, MN couldn't find a name to go with a mobile number.

Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?

Is there a way to track "pages viewed" progress with PDF's?
Example: Student downloads a PDF from school portal -- Teacher can track who downloaded PDF, when and how many pages were view (where student stopped)? Similar to Flexpaper?

The only other way I can come up with at the moment is by submitting the data via a URL to your server... The user will still have to allow the URL to be opened, though.

No. Turn it into the military police.

Is there a good motion tracking plug-in for FCP-X?

The question is in the headline: Is there a good motion tracking plug-in for FCP-X?
You know, like when I want to blur out, say, a license plate number on a moving car.
I know of no plug-ins for FCP-X that will do this. Surely there's one out there.
And since you can't just export a sequence to Motion (like you could in FCP 7), how would one achieve this in FCP-X?

R&B wrote:
… And since you can't just export a sequence to Motion …
instead of selecting a clip or sequence in FCPX, you set the in/out points in the Export/Send it to Compressor dialog.
the exported mov can be tracked in Motion5 …-
aaaand finally re-imported into FCPX.
… not exactly as convenient as in the old FC/p , but the tracker in M5 offers, imho as a hobbyist, superb results.-

Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM

Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM (application network manager)? We have a few servers running the ANM application. Each ANM server points to/manages ACE blades (in the datacenter where the server resides). I would like to understand how much the ANM gui is used for each of the servers. I have looked through the GUI for some sort of report but wasn't able to find one. Cisco ACS has the "Adminstration Audit" report which shows all admin activity of the application per admin user (per ACS server). Is there an equivalent report for ANM?
In addtion I would like to know how much of the ACE config activity is spawned via CLI versus the ANM gui.
thanks in advance,
BB

Not if you had not already installed and configured software for tracing it. If you hadn't done that before it got stolen, your only option is to report it to the police and let them handle it.

Is there a way to track a lost iPod touch?

I recently lost my iPod touch. Is there a way of tracking it down?

I have a feeling that I did not lose it at home, so it would not have an internet connection, so it would not help me. If I change my Apple ID passwords here, will that at least lock it out of my account so that someone cannot access it?

If your iPod was purchased with a credit card, check with the card company. Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.

Is there a way to track down what type of content was sent in an iMessage?
There was some data sent (that I saw from my cell phone provider) at around 7AM one morning while I was in bed. I am concerned as to what this data was and would like to find out if it is possible to trace what the content was? My cell provided indicated that they do not know what type of data it was.

Hello Michael:
I have not yet seen a
good approach to using that information (short of
deleting the account).
better search some yourself Barry <G>
if something runs fine in another account - one can isolate the cause to one of the plist files in the main acct Home/Library/Preferences/ or possibly an add-on in Home/Library/Internet Pug-Ins or ...Input Managers for example.
If there is the same problem in the new acct - you can discount anything with the main acct user library - plists,caches,plugins,input managers, the whole lot.
A useful tool is Console - found in Applications/Utilities/ keep it running while the 'problem' in question crops up & see if any messages pop up in either the system log or console log. Sometimes these will point straight at the problem area, other times no help at all.

Is there an option to track changes in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello,
Is there an option to track changes in Adobe Illustrator? We are creating nutritional labels in Adobe Illustrator and we have to process multiple languages. Some of the languages are impossible to read (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, etc.). To make sure no updates or changes are missed or wrongly implemented during label creation we want to track these changes.
So far we could not find any solution.
I still hope there is some kind of solution to track the changes in our Adobe Illustrator label and I hope someone can explain me how.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Martin

Is there a way to track the delivered qty at the schedule line level in R3

Hello Gurus,
Is there a way to track the delivered qty at the schedule line level in R3. I spoke to al ot of functional guys on this and the answer is NO. If NO,then, how does the 2LIS_11_V_SSL extractor extract the delivered qty at schedule line level. Help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Simmi

Hi Simmi,
I have used this extractor for the purpose you describe at more than one customer without problem. My understanding is that it links the order schedule line with the delivery, but I haven't tried to work out the mechanism.

HT1414 is there any way to track down my iphone when i have lost it?

I lost my iphone and i have the "find my iphone" app and thought that it may work from my mac but I am not finding a way to do that, is there any way to track down my iphone from my mac?

On your Mac, login to iCloud.com, & try to locate your phone. This requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before you lost it. It also requires your phone be turned on & connected to the Internet. There is no other way to locate a lost iPhone, other than physically looking for it.
