Is there any way to exclude ads for Mac keyloggers?

"Spector Pro Mac records every they type [sic]. Including Passwords."

Am I the only one annoyed?

I'm annoyed, and I don't even see the ads.

Haha. They're showing up in the Google ads area. And no matter how often I reload they don't go away.

I think google ads are beyond the ability for mere mortals to change. You take what the big G gives you, and like it.

I'm getting a MAC Cosmetics ad right now. Thanks google!

If you can capture a URL, we can do something about it. However they're pitched, I don't think ANY keylogger advertising is appropriate here.

I got one right now, in this thread, though it’s a bit different from Big Mac’s:


Clickthrough link (Christ, Google’s clickthrough links are long!):

code:

That's good to hear. I had been told Google isn't very responsive to such things.

Greetings all,
I am new here.

I made the relevant searches but few in particular to talk about the Mac keylogger.

My question is, which keylogger for Mac is safe to use? I know that you can use this type of malicious programs, in my case, I installed it on my own computer and want to make sure I do not open the door to intruders.

For attracting spammers and people who ask questions intended to make spam look like legitimate replies.

You can tell when people are too stupid to actually read the thread they reply to.

In case you are legitimate (right.), all keyloggers are, by definition, malicious. If you want non-malicious software, uninstall the piece of shit.

Have a nice day.

Isn't this sort of like asking "which chainsaw am I not going to cut my fingers off with?"

More like "Which cyanide capsule is better for my health?"

At least chainsaws have legitimate uses at which they can be employed.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
