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.

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.
