I agree with Kiernan's recommendations.  I've previously recommended AdwareMedic here and suggested that every Mac user should have it and use it regularly.  Because Malware / Spyware is quickly becoming a significant issue for Mac users.  I'd say that about 50% of the Macs that I encounter nowadays have at least 1 'infection' identified by Adware Medic.  How does this happen?  Because of the illegitimate downloads that dominate the web, which have bad software embedded in them.  Always download software only from trusted sources and/or the web site of the maker/developer of the software itself.
