HELP I did something really dumb

I installed Skype the other day and had trouble with bluetooth settings... I was panicking because I already gave out my new Skype number & people were calling me and I couldn't hear them.

Turns out I just had to tweak both my macbook air sound settings, and the Skype sound settings, I figured it out eventually, BUT...

While I was still in panic mode, I could not find any Skype support in their app or website, so I googled Skype support and called, thinking I was talking to Skype support.

Only after stupidly allowing them to use LogMeIn, and they started messing with my system log files, I realized these jerks were not Skype at all, they were trying to sell me some 3rd party system cleanup software, security, or something.

Now I am horrified - every time I start my system, LogMeIn starts. It doesn't appear to be actually connected, but I am afraid they still have access to my system! I already deleted the app, but it won't stop starting up!!

How is it possible that LogMeIn shows as a running process, but in Finder the entire hard drive has NOTHING by that name? I searched every way imaginable.

I looked in user accounts, login items, there is nothing there.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

FWIW, going to Users & Groups, Login, Items shows nothing at all, however, every time I re-start the damn thing starts again. Whatever they installed is deep under stealth mode.

I think old-wiz is right, I'm going to have to wipe out the hard drive, but I don't know how is the best way to do that. Take it to the apple store?

 

thanks, ravenvii. I guess I'm stuck taking it to the geniuses, i have a macbook air and the cmd R thing doesn't work.

I searched that forum, and it appears I need a dvd or usb with the os in order to do this.

I already made an appt at 4:00 today, wish me luck with the council of geniuses. I hope they don't make me a human centipad!

 

Update: Took it to the geniuses yesterday afternoon - shoulda just done that in the first place! I was in & out of there in 15 minutes or less with completely re-formatted & fresh OS install. YAY! No more virus!

But now I'm about to search the forum for bluetooth sound issues. I had my bluetooth headset working perfectly before, now it appears to be configured correctly but I can't hear anything at all. No sound from either the speakers or thru my ear piece. Grrrr!! I hate having technical issues!

Thanks guys!
