I have a macintosh computer with an inbuilt firewall and some antivirus software. I would like to check for spyware. Does anyone have a recommendation as to what anti-spyware software to run on my machine?

 

All spyware needs to connect to the internet to pass on its secrets. Little Snitch intercepts all outgoing network communication.

Spyware is rare (if not entirely non-existent) on OSX because of the way such software must be installed.

Free Mac Anti-virus:
ClamXAV

Like the spyware, virii are more or less non-existent on the Mac, but if you suspect a file and don't want to pass it on to you Windows friends, this works pretty well.
 
Don't know how legit this is but have tried it and found nothing. Nice browser cleaner anyway.




I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
