Hi 357outlaw - welcome to TSG.

Spyware and virus issues are somewhat rare with OS X systems. What exact kind of problems are you experiencing?

You can disable pop-ups with Safari by clicking Safari > Block Pop-Up Windows.

There are several spyware scanning programs available with free trial periods, including Saint and MacScan.

Net-Security.org has some interesting information and links to security software for OS X. On the left click the OSX link (in the box) and you'll see a list of programs/links to the programs.

Hope that helps.

First of all, you should run a scan with the programs you have on your PC. On the other hand, if you think you may have virus or spyware issues on your PC, post your question, with as much details as you can, in the Malware removal part of this forum. http://forums.techguy.org/54-malware...jackthis-logs/

Cheers
