Spyware/Spybot worries on a Mac?
This might be a dumb question, but I'm wondering if I need to worry about getting spyware or spybots on my Macbook. the main reason I ask is because Ad Aware won't work on it.

When you call anything with harsh vocals "screamo", it makes as much sense as calling anything with distorted guitar "heavy metal".

At the time I am typing this right now, there are no viruses, spyware/bots, or adware in the wild for OS X.

This doesn't mean you're free to be an idiot on the internet. OS X is not invulnerable. Still be smart about things. Don't open suspicious links/files or go to questionable websites. But no, there's no need at the moment for anti-virus or anti-spyware apps.

Thanks. Makes me pretty glad I got one, and I know about being careful in the way you mentioned.
