I am a mac user. I suspect that my office computer is being used by someone else to access non-approved sites. I'd like to download a keylogger for mac so that I can keep a record of all keystrokes. Where can I find one that I can be sure isn't malware?

    You can get a program called webwatcher that is good for this, you can monitor the computer remotely from anywhere in the world-

    Why don't you just password protect your user account instead, then no one else can use it without your approval?
    Or check the browser history?-not everyone is clued up enough to clear it after each session.

    why don't you just lock down the computer when your not there, unless someone else knows your login password? in which case why.

    This only work on a PC. The OP wants a keylogger for a Mac!
  • I would agree with the locking the account rather than a keylogger to be honest, alternativly you could get some snooping software for your office network which will then provide you with a list of IP's&machine names and the associated websites they have been on, I suppose it depends on your full requirements really, thing about a keylogger is that you are going to be able to obtain users passwords and login details e.g. if the user is going onto hotmail etc. which is over kill really

    If it's not yours, then installing keylogger software might get you in more trouble.

    Bet best is to stick with changing the password.
