MacScan Detects Spyware

Posted by pudge on from the thats-no-security-problem-thats-my-boss dept.

limpymac writes "MacScan public beta was announced to the public short minutes ago. MacScan will detect, isolate and remove spyware on the Macintosh. Currently it will detect trojan horses and keystroke loggers without a hitch. The application is for Mac OS and Mac OS X and is created by the folks at SecureMac.com. I found a keystroke recorder on my Macintosh I installed a year ago and forgot to remove; hah, I have a year's worth of logs!"

    is for someone to hurry up and port some spyware to the Mac, so this product will have something useful to do.

    They may not actually be as interesting / immersive as the year of typing itself.
