I have a pc running XP and a mac running os10.3. I run adaware religiously on my PC but I was wondering if I should be worried about my mac. I really don't run much at all as far as antivirus on the mac. I know that most melicious software is written for the PC but I don't want to be left with my pants down. Should I be worried? Is their an anitspyware prog for the mac? I did a seach but I did not come up wtih much.

Thanks,

Jeff

I've never heard of spyware or anything similar for OS X. You shouldn't worry about it.

Have you ever heard of C_DILLA used by software companies such as INTUIT, ABBYY, etc...?
How about 'MONITOR' (keylogger)?

The MAC is not imune to spyware, contrary to popular belief.
