One program I use is Little snitch It will tell you when a program or website wants to access the internet and you can deny it from doing so. This let's me know if a web page is requesting to perform an action and I can deny it from doing so.
It lets me know if something fishing is going on that a user would not necessarily know is happening. http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Profile Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 7:54 AM To: Macintosh topics Subject: [MacGroup] Best Sypware I just read the Consumer report on virus protection, spyware problems etc. etc. They never cover the Mac well but they did mention that a vulnerability to the Mac is spyware, that the Mac users are blase and unconcerned when in fact Safari has no built in protection for spyware. So today I get an email from Smithmicro for their Internet Cleanup 5 software that seemingly does one thing, looks for spyware. Is this a good program, anyone use it, what do you recommend to handle this problem other than Many thanks. John
