That's the cool thing. You don't have to worry about spyware. Spyware is so hopeless that the only way it can even have a chance of succeding is to target the Windows market. There simply aren't enough macs out there to make it worth their while to write spyware for the platform. Just like nobody bothers to write OS X virii. Ha ha.
