New spyware removal tool

[wildred]

Hey folks, just wanted to let you know that there is a new spyware fighting tool out called CounterSpy. I found it at

Looks and works REALLY well...whats your opinions?

So, ive been searching the posts for an OSX spyware detecter/remover, but i really havent had much luck. Ive also tried google, again, with not much luck. Ive been a windows child my whole life, and I dabble in linux, but recently i bought a powerbook g4, and was wondering if anyone knew of any spyware/antivirus/firewall (osx has a built in firewall, just wanting to keep my options open incase Mac's start to become targeted) downloads. Couldnt find a place to post this, so i figured id just piggyback on this wondeful post by wildred


Thanks for any help

I would just like to add another antispyware removal.Yahoo has it's own anti spyware program.

Actually, believe it or not, the Yahoo spyware removal tool is actually a somewhat stripped version of PestPatrol. PestPatrol is now under ComputerAssociates hands. They were bought out this year, but Yahoo still has licensing.

Can't say that I've heard of this one. How does it fair in comparison to A squared, Ad aware, and S&D among others? I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment, but I will have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Personally, I like it way better than any. It has true active protection to prevent spyware installation--I think to sum it up, its got almost everything the "other" programs have and then some. It does cost money, BUT some things are just worth paying for (unless you wanna eye patch it)
