[QUOTE="zacharace, post: 879971, member: 60696"] 1. Aside from anti-virus, I don't think any "credible" anti-spyware program specifically made for Mac exists. It's not needed, either. Welcome to Macs! ;) 2. Time Capsule doesn't really run on the "system restore" that Windows does. In Windows' (somewhat convoluted) System Restore, system preference, installed applications, etc are restored, and not any files. With Time Capsule, one can either restore their files/folders/applications OR perform a complete restore of the above when re-installing OS X. With OS X's architecture and design, if you will, a Windows-style "system restore" would be unnecessary, aside from files/folders/applications. See [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427"]here[/URL] as well. Hope that helped/made sense. ;) [/QUOTE]
