I recently found out that the owner of movieforumz.com is a thief and installs keyloggers on your computer. i was wondering whether keyloggers work on a mac. do they? if they do, how do i remove them?

Sure do...here's an example of one that is available for purchase.
Spector - for MAC:

...and the motherload:
Searched Google for "MAC" and "Keylogger":

Nothing like a false sense of security...

i've used macs 17 years, been on the web at least that long... i've never had a problem with one...
perhaps they could work, but I'm not sure. I know i've never been a victim of one... or a mac virus for that matter.

keyloggers must be specific for the the operating system, unless it is in Java.

keyloggers which are normaly developed for working on windows can't work on macs and linux.
