While I suppose it's technically possible, I've never encountered any. There's applications that supposedly block spyware, but I usually laugh at them because they're just not needed.

MonitorX is a program you can install yourself to monitor your own mac. Plus you can install it on a seperate account and switch to another, and it will still record screen shots and keystrokes across the machine.

I agree with alephOne. It is possible but at the moment I don't see it as a problem for the Mac. Not like for Windows. In fact I scanned a customers computer the other day and adaware found over 1800 files on that computer. Amazing how many people install Gain and Gator and others and not know that its spyware. Oh well more work and more $$$ for me
