If you're curious to check, Macscan2 is shareware, but comes with a 15 day trial and scans.

well, if apple can patch more than a dozen security hole with 10.4.9, then there must be some holes there, right?

fortunately, seems nobody really exploit them yet. but again, its always good to be cautious.

Yup, there's no viruses, spyware, trojans, worms, adware or just malware in general. However, I enable the firewall, just to make me feel good .
