How to Detect Spector on Mac
Spector is a utility program that can monitor network activity and record keystrokes on a Macintosh. It is used in business and educational environments where system administrators want to monitor users very closely for unauthorized activities. If you are using a Macintosh that may have Spector installed, you can use the Activity Monitor utility to determine whether it is running.

Leave Activity Monitor open while you use the Macintosh for other activities. If Spector is installed, you will see a "DriverSPd" process appear periodically in the Activity Monitor window, which is the software that is monitoring your use of the computer. It will only appear in this window when it is actively in use, but any appearance indicates that it is installed and active.
