MacSweeper is a rogue application that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer.[1] 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.[2]
As of 2009[update], the official website for the application, macsweeper.com, was shut down, as was the website for KiVVi Software shortly after.
