Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your heart it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line and
They'll take you away.
You better
STOP, hey, whats that sound...

Do these things affect Macs? I have a password-protected router and computers are separatly password protected.

Need I mention that I'm a clueless user?

Ted, I used the link you provided to discover the following info for Mac users: "As the Macintosh isn't as far spread as the Windows PC platform, it is also not a target that spyware makers have found yet. Therefore, the only targets that could be called spyware would be keyloggers and the like; for finding those I recommend using a regularly updated anti-virus program for Macintosh. "

Thanks, Ted.
