Yes, but there is very little in existance.
However, that doesn't make a Mac better than PC. Here's why...
If you're a virus-writer or a spywre-writer, your goal is to affect the most users as possible. With that in mind, you're going to target PC users since they make up the vast, vast majority of all computer users.
Crude comparision, but think of a suicide bomber. He doesn't walk out in the middle of the desert and blow himself up, does he? Of course not. He walks into a crowd of people. Same concept.

No, none cares to develop spyware for an OS that only two or three people use.

yes. MACs don;t get as infected becasue they are a less popular O/S. hacker want the biggest bang for their buck, and they design for th ebiggest target (i.e. windows). you should still run anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall for a MAC
