Hi There,
I have reason to believe that some kind of spying software (key logger or something similar) may have been installed on my computer when it was lent to someone. Can anyone tell me how to find out for sure? I have Little Snitch, but im sure they could get around that..
Thanks!!

Your best option would be a system restore to an earlier date than when you lent it.
(this comming from someone who makes his own keyloggers that can't be detected by an antivirus)

I bet I could find, disable, and remove your keylogger manually in less than an hour.

Is this done with the "time machine" program? As I am yet to set that up.

Obviously our author isn't that technical.
Never claimed it couldn't be removed. Irrelevant arguement.

What makes you think someone has added something?
