MacScan ReviewIt's Good - Version: 2.5.2, 4/4/2008 02:38PM PST

Yes, I know. There isn't a ton of Spyware for the Mac, but there is some.

MacScan at the very minimum is very good at removing tons of tracking cookies that I do seem to gather.

More importantly to me, is that it's not a resource hogging piece of bloatware. It's off when I'm not using it, and it does what it is supposed to do when it's on. It's fast and effective. I like it.
