Anti-Spyware for the Mac

The site opens fine, but the download seems to be blocked: "Download Disabled - Beta Testing Completed - Watch for Updates"--anybody know?? I have always been curious about whether *some* spyware makes it onto my mac platform. On my OSX desktop I expect not, but on my laptop, still running on classic, I think it's loaded; at any rate I have had increasing memory issues that I have attributed to spyware. But this application won't help me with that, either, since it isn't running on OSX.

Well, I read how Macs are so fortunate to not be the target of many viruses and spyware but that doesn't mean there aren't any out there. And also Mac users shouldn't be so vocal online bragging about how safe their systems are because some jerk might just create a spyware for Macs out of spite o_O'

If thats the screen shot of their program. I do not know if I can trust them if the image of chicken little was not licensed from Disney.

For James Brickley with the CWS problem-life's not that bad. Go download a free eval copy of Webroot's Spy Sweeper www.webroot.com and that'll get rid of CWS and everything else, with only the need to reboot, maybe up to 3 times, but no more. As for AS for the MAC, Webroot had a product about 12 months ago but it wasn't too stable and, due to lack od both demand and need they never continued development. Their Win product is the number 1 worldwide and if they thought there was money to be made from protecting Macs, they've done it. So Macscan just isn'tworthwhile.

Duh, I meant TUAW. (was reading engadget earlier)

Thanks Richard, for pointing that out. The link in the engadget article is wrong :)

I [heart] Jim Jacobson. (^_^) Sorry to hear about the Wintels. As Vader would say, "Nooooooooo!"

I may be the crazy guy who blasts OS X in favor of Classic on my website (see "crazy people" link towards the top of the page), but I am running Tiger on my two older Macs that my kids use daily. Although my three newer computers are Wintels. The death of Classic pushed me over to the dark side.

This is MacScans' registered parent site: http://www.staticusers.net/ They also own Freaks Macintosh archives, which has Mac hacker warez with descriptions such as this: "Nucleo is a Very fast MailBomber with e-mail attachment support for a high level of mailbombing. This application runs on Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. The program is developed by Delete of DigitalCalamity." Yup, these are the exact people who I'd want protecting Monty against spyware..

they better move their mirror site - it's in Houston
