I might have been hacked. I might have malware and I might have keystroke logging.
I just bought webroot Internet Security Complete.
I hired Best Buy to scan and clean my other MacBook.
I loaded Webroot onto another MacBook, so I could do some work.
Is this a big mistake? Because the hacker might be able to see how I logged into this program? and see how it was loaded?
My goal was to secure this computer and get work done, while I am waiting for my other computer.
Solved
Hack, malware or keystroke logging

Hello @ ,
Welcome to the Webroot Community Forum,
I think if you are having doubts of being protected by Webroot please Submit that Support Ticket as@ has advised for peace of mine and they will gladly check your Mac out for any issues. I am running Mac and Webroot protects me from Keyloggers. You could also check in your Launchpad and open Activity Monitor and see if you see anything running that you are not aware of. Make sure you check your Preferences and see that you are locked down in Security & Privacy.
Please have a look at the Advanced Setting here https://docs.webroot.com/us/en/home/wsa_mac_userguide/wsa_mac_userguide.htm#ShieldingYourMac/ChangingRealtimeShieldSettings.htm%3FTocPath%3DShielding%2520Your%2520Mac%7C_____4
Hope this helps?

From the PC version!
Thanks,
The Mac is different and we don't have this keylogging listed in our GUI:
When "Pause Secure Keyboard Entry" is paused then Webroot will not be able to secure keystrokes against keylogging software.. Many Webroot Mac users have issues with examples like "Adobe" or "Photoshop" suppressing the dictation of these programs. So Webroot Support tells Mac Users to "Pause Secure Keyboard
Entry".
I have not had to pause this on my Mac. ;)
