After spending two days fixing my PC from spyware, I'm wondering if there are any known spyware apps on a Mac. If so, any apps to help protect against spyware? Thanks.

don’t know much about spyware but ...

i downloaded a (norton) anti-virus software demo last night and ran it (a first in 3 years)

it took an hour but came up with absolutely nothing. zero. nada. zilch.

so i'm not gunna bother paying for one

Spyware doesn't happen very easily on a "secured" operating system...hence, your PC taking a few days to get cleaned...

There is NO spyware for OS X.

A quick search would have turned up a number of threads about this, all of which say "no, there is no OS X spyware."

Thanks, I did a search, and it didn't give me a recent answer. Given all my recent problems on my PC, I thought I'd ask. Sorry if that's a problem.

Limewire,... food for thought. Not technically spyware, but you gotta be careful all the same if you chose to use it.
