Re: Adware/Spyware on Mac/OS X

[Kamnab Keo/FS/VCU <kkeo () VCU EDU>]

We have not found much, but a Google search returns: MacScan and
iAntiVirus.  The problem is we have no experience with Mac anti-spyware or
any of these tools.

Thanks,

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.
