Does my mac have spyware on it?

Question

I went on redutube.com and i was just wondering if i have any spyware/viruses from that site. But my mac seems to function normally and I can't even tell I went to that site. I will never go there again. It is like a youtube but a p**n youtube. I reset my safari often and it has not asked me for my password to install anything but I am kind of scared if i compromised any info. Are there some good free spyware programs that won't mess up my mac? There is nothing wrong with it I just need to be reassured that no one is watching my login to steal my password. I use my mac for like online stuff- banking and buying. Is it still safe to just it for that?

Answer 1

listen to the sheep all you want. macs do have virus out there. infact, the mac was the first computer to go down in a hacking contest via a flash vulnerability.

the probability you'll get one is low though since macs are still not profitable enough to hack.

Answer 2

Anytime you go to a p**n site, you are at risk of getting infected with a virus. No matter if you have a Mac or Windows. This is what you get for your dirty habbit. Grow up and stop looking at p**n it is nasty and a waste of time.

I've taken several classes in college for computer and the question about Macs getting infected came up, the answer was they can. It's just a little rarer because no many people use Macs, so the hackers go after the larger picture being windows. But macs can get infected.

Answer 3

You dont need spyware, macs are immune to ANY type of virus. Enjoy.

P.S.-

I know because the guy at the apple store told me =D

Answer 4

Relax buddy, Macs don't get Spyware. Go on redutube.com as much as you like!

Edit: Listen to the a-ss-hole below, but Macs do have viruses, but a very, very, very small amount of them and out of actually using a Mac for 10-15 years I've never had one. These PC users think they know everything about Macs. Although there are a very small number of Mac viruses that you'll probably never, ever come across; spyware is different. They get no Spyware at ALL.
