I cleaned some crapware off an acquintances computer. She is around 70 and didn't know why the computer was not behaving correctly. It was really easy compared to windows crapware. When my dad's Windows computer had malware I had to reformat . But with OSX I deleted a plist or two and it was done.

I have to disagree with this. At my current job I deal with a lot of Mac malware/adware, and fully removing it is complicated process. After clearing the applications folder and removing browser extensions, you have to check a lot of folders, and you kind of have to know what you're looking for. In /Library/ for example, you have to check Application Support, Extensions, Frameworks, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, PreferencePanes, and StartupItems. I like OSX, but it definitely needs a MalwareBytes equivalent.

Yeah, that site has been really useful. That's where I discovered the large number of folders in which malware can hide.
