the easiest way to check if you have spector
 

To find out for sure if you have spector on your mac do a "find file"

Then on the 'visibility' option drag down and select 'invisible items'

Then click on the + option on the right hand side and on the next level
down select "extenion is" and in the blankbox to the right hand side type .app

Now click on search/find.

If spector is on yr mac it will bring up a little icon that looks like a white magnifying glass on a black curved edged box and it will be called 'system'. Double click on this (from within the search results box) and a pop up dialog box will appear saying 'password' - this is def spector soft. You then have to attempt at what the password is/could be - if YOU didnt install it.

NB: make sure you select the extention is option before you search or you will bring up loads of invisible items.

As an aside, if YOU OWN the machine and you did not install the software then this is an illegal operation and is prosecutable. If you are an employee then I believe you have the RIGHT to be told it has been installed - but I'm not sure what the law is here on whether you DEFINITELY have to be informed - spector's site will advise on that.

As for the above instructions on how to find it - it works every time and I only discovered it was on my machine myself by being boredone day and messing about with my search facility - and boy am I glad I did! This way you don't have to mess around trying every combination of hot key to access it - which incidently the 'S' is the set key and can be changed by the installer once installed.

If your company has an AUP for computer use, there's probably language in there about monitoring, and this fits the bill. They don't have to inform you of it. It may not be the right thing to do, but it gets done.
