MacSweeper

MacSweeper is a rogue application that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland-based computer security software company, on January 17, 2008. As of 2009, the official website for the application, macsweeper.com, was shut down, as was the website for KiVVi Software shortly after.
