I'm the goto computer person in the family and I was asked what is the best spyware for a teenager's Mac that does ALL the spyware stuff (keystorkes, etc.)... I've never had to deal with that, so does anyone know...? Thanks
Got a tip for us?

Best Spyware?

I think he/she might actually be asking for spyware (in the sense of covert monitoring tools) and not anti-spyware tools!
OP: Do you want a program that removes adware/spyware/malware (i.e., software some website, etc, installed without asking you -- as HH said, you don't need this on the MacOS side, because there really isn't any of this stuff on OS X), or are you looking for a way to monitor what this kid does with her/his computer?

thats what I thought to. OP care to give us some clarification?
Edit* This was the top hit on google, though I have never used it. IMHO I have never seen the need to extra software. When I was a teenager the thought of being snooped on by my parents would only have made me find ways of circumventing the controls. The best way would be through education and a little bit of trust.
^^^ Just looking for spyware (not "anti-spyware") ... I know it sounds crappy, but I guess its ok when its for a ill-behaved teenager doing weird stuff, haha. Glad I don't have to deal with that...
Well, you could just turn on parental control so you can limit the web sites he/she can visit and see the log of what sites he/she has visited. You can also limit the hours he can use it per day and set times when it can be used. If you want MORE than that, don't ask me, don't know any apps for it
