Here's the output from the iMac I'm typing this on: You'd be looking for something that obviously doesn't belong. So, for that you'd have to look at Google to find out what it is. For example, there's a daemon calledД«fobserver that's part of Apple's Xcode developer tools that has no The tough part is that there are some processes that don't have Man pages isn't so much looking for keyloggers, but it's a way to familiarize yourself with what's really a part of the OS. What would I look for to tip me off it's a keylogger once I open the Man page? (Or as kextstat?) That makes it easier for programs to log key strokes (for example, that's how TextExpander works).Д¬harlie, thanks for all that information.I don't know Terminal that well. Kextstat command in the Terminal window if they don't try to hide it.ДЇinally, one way to slow down keyloggers would be to turn off 'Enable access for assistive devices' in the Universal Access control panel.

Will give you the bluetooth daemon's man page.ДЄnd if the keylogger was installed as a kernel extension, it wouldn't show up in the process list anyway. To look up a process in the Terminal, type 'man' followed by its name. But if I was making a keylogger for nefarious purposes, I'd give it a name that sounded helpful, and maybe even lie in the You may have to use Google or the Terminal to look up the various daemons and processes running to figure out if they're likely to be legitimate. You'd have to have a pretty good idea of what's legit and what's not if it's installed as a daemon. But would still like to know if I can simply go into Administrator/Root in Activity Monitor and look for anything suspicious there, or could a Keylogger embed itself too deeply for that simple kind of detection?
