[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1365783, member: 24098"] Although I agree that it's unlikely that your Mac is running a bot, they DO indeed exist for Mac OS X. The most prevalent one accompanied a pirated copy of iWork/iLife '09 (although I can't recall the name off the top). Aside from getting a "second opinion" scan with a dedicated spyware tool like MalwareBytes (on the PCs), I would actually recommend doing a scan with the trialware version of [URL="http://macscan.securemac.com/"]MacScan[/URL], just to be on the safe side.
