Sounds like a good reason to switch. I never have to deal with this garbage on my computer or waste my time trying to find it and remove it.

I wouldn't be so sure that there isn't Spyware on your Mac -- it's just that no one has written software to detect it.

Sounds like a good reason to switch.

Note to Apple: Replacing the spiky hired guy in Salvation Army duds with a more photogenic MacUser (Cheney Chick comes to mind) would probably be a smart advertising move.

IMO, Apple builds some sexy hardware. I could easily (and happily) do all of my normal drudge work on a Mac.

Unfortunately, when the work is finished the kind of entertainment software I want to run is almost non-existant for the MacOS. I like flight sims - monsterous, cycle-burning, cpu-hogging, eye candy-laden flight sims. They simply don't exist for Macs. Soft PC and the like are fine to migrate Wintel office apps over to the Mac, but not torender the smooth framerate I need to fly any recent sim.

If the equivalent to FS2002, IL2 Sturmovik, Jane's F/A-18, Talonsoft's Battle of Britain, and B17 II - The Mighty Eighth were available for Macs I'd seriously consider the switch.

Till then I'll stick to my dual boot WinME / Mandrake 8.2 box.
