The UK Apple store is selling this product.

I thought the OS X was not affected by spyware?

(P.S. Just for the record, I don't need to cover my tracks!).

Looks like there are three different spyware programs for mac. Sounds like spyware is extremely rare still for macs so unless you have an unfixable issue you may not even need an app as of yet...

nevertheless, business is business, and just because you know there isn't any spyware, doesn't mean everybody doesn't. i wouldn't be surprised if that ism'\t quite the little earner.

You mean that this is exploitation?

I just downloaded macscan and tried it on my work computer. It's been on the internet, receiving email, etc. for almost three years. Not one instance of spyware found.

I'd recommend not buying a spyware program for mac just yet unless you download questionable files on a regular basis (ie. lots of x-rated stuff or questionable software).

yes, like all business. microsoft exploits the fact that most of joe public isn't even aware that there is an alternative to windows.
