spyware remover

Do I need a spyware remover and if so what would you recommend?

Not if you don't go to WEB sites that would install malicious software AND you allow it to be installed by giving your password. Basically it is not really needed if you are smart about it.

THere is a good reason there is no anti spyware software for the Mac (non that does any good anyway)

Please have a look at this thread

Spyware

Thanks and that problem is now solved.
