Ryan Naraine writes on eWeek:
Anti-virus researchers have spotted the first signs of an adware/spyware program capable of launching browser windows on Apple Computer's Mac OS X.More here.
According to a warning from F-Secure, a security vendor in Helsinki, Finland, the proof-of-concept program could be silently installed on a Mac's User account and hooked to each application used by that account.
The company said the sample, named iAdware, successfully launched the Mac's built-in Safari Web browser whenever applications were being used.
