Hello,

Spybot-S&D does not yet support MacOS. There are also no fixed plans for a Macintosh version yet, as it would need many additional resources.
As the Macintosh isn't as far spread as the Windows PC platform, it is also not a target that spyware makers have found yet. Therefore, the only targets that could be called spyware would be keyloggers and the like; for finding those I recommend using a regularly updated anti-virus program for Macintosh.

This information is also available in our knowledgebase (http://www.spybot.info/en/compatibility/macos.html).

The only Anti-Spyware program I know of for Macs is Macscan (http://www.macscan.securemac.com/) and it is not free as you probably already know.

Remember to keep the MAC patched (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798).

Best regards
