Geeze there are an awful lot of web sites that claim to offer free spyware removal software but what they really mean is free spryware detection software - cannot remove it unless you pay $. I don't necessarily object out right to paying for this service - but what happened to truth in advertising? I have a new laptop provide by my work and was trying to tweak some things like having the caps lock key not be a caps lock key (the behavior of which is really frustrating for a mac user) and I downloaded an installer for a small app that happened to be infected - in a matter of seconds - despite enterprise MacAfee running I was infected with about 42 malware, spyware, adware items which MacAfee detected and blocked to some extenct but not completely and did not remove them. Here I am about 4 hours later nearly recovered from the problem and a little bit concerned that there might still be something on my system that should not be or that some of my personal info has been stolen. A recent security update on the Mac OS presents a dialog whenever an application runs on yoru system for the first time asking your permission to let it run - this may not be perfect - especially if you are not in the habit of reading all your dialogs but at least gives you a chance to say I didn't ask a program to run - what's going on.
