Because of file access permissions and the fact that an OSX user isn't 
running (with a few exceptions) with any special access privileges, I 
would think that OSX is less susceptible than OS9.

One of the functions in Aladdin's Internet Cleanup product is 
"SpyAlert." Exactly what it looks for I don't know.
