But if youre the administrator for a, ahem, LUSER, these tools could be very helpful.

This latter form of malware is also called ad-injection software, and, as Apple says, come from third-party download sites.

This can result in annoying ads popping up on your Mac, or being inserted into web pages.

Ad-injection software might also change your homepage and preferred search engine, McElhearn writes.

Apple has created a technical document, Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, explaining how to get rid of these annoyances.

It could scan them, identify them, then ask for permission before deleting them.

If you want more ads in your life, then go to MDN or google or facebook web pages.

Mac users should never have to deal with unwanted software like this, period.

Apple has the means to clean it up without the need for 3rd party antivirus software.

Now the Mac platform is being actively degraded by malware and you propose that Apple should just let users deal with it thats stupid.

Its much better to build an educated user base and a solid platform that is harder to infect in the first place.

To me its still all ridiculous and it makes me wish it was open season on producers of unsolicited junk mail, spam, adware, and rogue web ad providers.

I think Id head for the nearest tall building and jump if that happened.

Victims are shown virtual advertising 24-7 via a chip shoved into the back of their brain.

The marketing maniac baddies are suitably served justice in the end.

Therefore, its iffy as to whether such stuff is malware or not.

The line is crossed, IMHO, if the victim is social engineered into installing it.

If a person does not explicitly REQUEST the adware, IOW checks ON the installation (as opposed to it being pre-checked for them), then its MALWARE IMHO.

Its abuse. Its Marketing Morons at work ruining their customers lives.

Those are, IMHO within my personal knowledge: A) MacUpdate B) Major Geeks I use both and recommend both.

Its free (donationware).

It works. Thomas is fanatical and brilliant about identifying, discussing and killing off adware.

Thomas was one of the prime instigators to inspire Apple to get serious about adware and to publish the document to which Kirk links in his article.

Had to use that on a clients Mac that downloaded stuff from a shady site.

This will keep Safari from being redirected back to the site.

Like the cookie control apps, I suspect theyre hit-or-miss, IOW never perfect.
