Who's watching me?
Detection of unwanted attention to your Mac.
It is very important to know that someone is interested in the contents of your Mac!
In order to find out whether there are people who are curious about what you have going on, adjust our SJ ScreenSaver. In the settings you specify the time 'Inactivity' in seconds longer than you basically are out.
Example: Let's say you drink an average of coffee (or tea) for 10 minutes (600 seconds). Set the parameter 'Inactivity' equal to 660 seconds, and when you come to your Mac, you'll notice that someone was trying to enter the password.
Warning! This method works only if you are sure that NO ONE but you knows your password from SJ ScreenSaver.
Enjoy your use! We would be very grateful if you share this program with all who know!
In order to remove individual screensavers from the Mac OS X operating system, it may sometimes be necessary to manually delete them from the folder in which they were stored. When you are unable to uninstall a screensaver via the Screen Savers panel, for example. Before you can do this, you need to know exactly where the screensaver file is located.
When installing a screensaver, you are often presented with the choice to install it just for yourself, or for all user accounts on the computer. This determines where the actual screensaver file is stored on your hard drive:
The Screen Saver Mac Os Catalina
If you chose to install it only for your own user account, you should be able to find the screensaver file in the folder '/Users/USERNAME/Library/Screen Savers'. In this path, 'USERNAME' is the username of your account.
If the screensaver you are looking for is not located in the above folder, or you (or another user) had chosen to install it for all users, then you need to open the folder with the path '/Library/Screen Savers'.
Finally, there is another 'Screen Savers' folder that only contains the screensavers that came with your installation of Mac OS X by default. These are located at '/System/Library/Screen Savers'.
If you have the permissions to enter these folders, you should be able to browse to them using the Finder. Note that, by default, the Finder begins in the current user's home folder. To access the system folders, you first need to click on your hard drive, at the top left under 'Devices'. To remove any of the included screensavers, simply drag them to the Trash.
The Screen Saver Mac Os X
If you attempt to access these folders using the Terminal, please make sure you use single or double quotation marks around the path. Otherwise, the space in the name of the 'Screen Savers' folder will break the command. For example, use the command 'cd '/System/Library/Screen Savers' rather than 'cd /System/Library/Screen Savers'.
