Search-and-destroy Antispyware is an excellent scanner that I would like to recommend to everyone. I simply love it. In the past I have tried many different types of scans. Some of them were free and others cost quite a bit of money but they all seem to pick up the same types of bugs. The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is less expensive than most and it will clean your computer and keep it working great just like the more costly scanners. Click on Search-and-destroy to learn more about this scan and how it can help you protect your computer. I would like to recommend to everyone.

Macs are more secure than Windows because OS X is open source and based on the proven FreeBSD Unix kernel. FreeBSD has 15 years of secure, solid, open source development. Windows is insecure by design while Unix and Unix-like operating systems are secure by design. Microsoft solutions have far more exploits than comparable open source solutions; IIS vs Apache, Windows vs FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD. Microsoft has more unpublished exploits that hackers and script kiddies "publish". Vista already has 14 exploits including the old animated cursor exploit. The issue is poor code written under pressure from the Marketing dept operating on the premise that consumers are going to upgrade every 18 months anyway. Microsoft pays little attention to securing userland applications and and preventing privilege escalation (animated mouse exploit). P.S. You do understand that Steve Gibson is a fraud??

Seems like a waste. It's only going to steal cycles and, more than likely, make your mac less stable - especially if the AV driver runs in kernel mode. Will someone try and create a virus for the mac? Sure, of course. But exploits are more likely to be made through buffer overflows, code and mysql injection techniques and good old fashioned social hacking.
