Care to share what you have found as spyware that is designed for the
Mac?

As far as I know, there are none in the wild, and even writing a proof-
of-concept one is not simple.   So, there may not be any need for such
a thing.

Can anybody recommend an anti-spyware utility for Mac/OS X?  We have
looked around but there is not much out there regarding Macs.
