Anti-Spyware for the Mac

At long last! John C. Dvorak can rest easy. So aside from stinky old Virex, the Clam AV thing, and a smattering of tools, what have Mac users really got when it comes to anti-spyware? Seeing a great, big, vacuum in a market, MacScan has created the first anti-spyware app for the Mac platform. At least, it's the only one I've ever heard of...

I have to say MacScan's claims sound too much like Windows hyperbole. I have a PC connected to the web pretty much all day with no problems. Same with several Macs. Either way, the picture isn't as dire as MacScan seems to think it is, saying things like, "...in today's open web society... can you afford to be without MacScan?"

Well at least the app is free. You see, the app is a 2.0 Beta 2 at this time, and all you have to do is go here to download, install it, and soon you'll feel all safe and smug, like Mr. Dvorak himself. In fact, those of you crazy people running "classic" Macs will apparently have a version soon. Who knew?
