There is no such thing as Spyware for the Mac. What you saw was a fake web site running a FAKE program telling you you need to buy their stuff, which is Windows by the way. You may have some other issue, DNS, Cache, etc., but you DO NOT have Spyware.

Thanks Jeff - had the same problem as the guy above and cleared my cache & cookies to successfully remove the whistling! My PC never did that - just froze up on me....I'll take the whistle - nice negative reinforcement :)

You could also try to empty out your out your cache under the Safari Tab. Computers tend to store so many short cuts there and slow you down after a while. Also if your running Parrals on your Mac like I am you could have a virus hanging out there. Mac Mall . com has a good virus program called Virus Barrier X5. Im using it and it finds everything

I believe you are the slow one. There is no such thing as spyware on mac. You're just another idiot that clicks pop ups. Just die.

Smartone huh? Did you come up with that name yourself? Your mommy should take away your computer and dirty mags and send you to bed. Let the adults talk.
