I just got the trial version of this. It is scanning now. Is this reliable. Its looking at all of my files on my hard drive. Scanning and what not.

make sure it is user friendly and that it does not allow you to delete important system files. if it suspects a file is infected when it actually isnt it will ask you to or want to remove it and if you do you will have a mess on your hands. you will have to re-install your operating system to retrieve that file back or if mac has options to back up your system you coudl do a system restore to a previous date.

here is a link you may find a safe spyware removal tool. it is a mac os website http://www.securemac.com/

actually i think its the same ur using now but most free trial versions will run and find the spyware but will not remove it. most of the time it has to be the full registered version that will romove the threats. thats how they make there money lol tease u to try it and when u do it wont clean it just find the stuff on your comp then tell you you'll have to buy the full version to clean the threats out. but i have ways around that =) if it works and you like it and want it just let me know and i will get it for you and help you with getting it installed and running.

i wil let you know

ok just let me know. if im not on just pm it to me or leave a post and ill respond as soon as i see it either way

what are tracking cookies? apparently my the program found a large # of them. Is this bad?

tracking cookies are just as they sound. it is cookies stored onto you computer from websites or any other place or thing you do on your computer. not much of a threat but can be harmful if they build up and build up. so heres what i suggest. look around for nortons or avg antivirus if you dont have one already. you will also want a user friendly type of cleaner that actually will clean must of that stuff out liek cookies temporary internet files and such with a registry cleaner. now keep in mind when you pick something make sure it has a safe removal of registry because if not you will remove alot of stuff you need and then you will have to start all over again by installing ur software and stuff. i myself use a tool called glarys it does everything i need it to do and it is user friendly and doesnt delete files you actually need to keep in your registry.

well found out who it was. And lets just say i will not be talking to them for a while. so I am fine. No bad stuff. the computers are safe and I am happy. thanks for all of your help.

you're welcome
