Tha answer from Randy B. Singer (from iomug) is:

The only spyware for the Macintosh has to be physically installed and 
the
person installing it has to know the user's password to do so.  (Which
makes it extremely unlikely that you would encounter it, unless you 
have,
for instance, a suspicious spouse.)

There is *no* Mac spyware that can be installed by visiting a Web site 
or
by e-mail. *None*.


Paul,

Shouldn't you have indicated that the spyware has to be physically 
installed from the CD and by the user him/herself with the use of the 
admin password?
