MacScan is an application for Apple's Mac OS X developed by SecureMac.
The software is an anti-spyware utility, aimed at removing spyware (including Trojan horses, keystroke loggers, and tracking cookies). It is the first anti-spyware utility released for Mac OS X. In addition, the application scans for remote administration programs, like Apple Remote Desktop, to let the user verify their authenticity.
MacScan is available as Shareware, and a free 30-day trial is available at the Developer's website for download.
