No, not really.. there's built-ins in Safari and Firefox (amongst others) that "block" pop-ups, but these are a function of the browser(s) and not Tiger.
Now, if you mean spyware, there's none for Mac OS X, so you win (or loose, depending on your stance in the arguement).

I guess that depends on how you look at it.
New Macs with Tiger also ship with iDVD & iMovie, but I wouldn't say that DVD Movie creation is "built into Tiger".

Sorta true... the problem with blocking popups at my home computer and on my work computer (the computers I'm using 99% of the time) is that when I use somebody elses computer and a popup comes up that says "System Error" or something that looks like a windows error it puzzles me for a bit and I try to figure out what the system error is...
I'm sooooo not used to popups that when they happen I almost believe them. To me... popups are dead. I just assume they're dead for everybody else too.
It's pop UNDERS that kill me.
Or places that use pop-ups to do bank logins or display bank info.. and WARN you to turn off pop-up blockers before attempting to do X. Why not change your code since everyone and their grandma knows that pop-ups are a hassle?

Semantics & the splitting of hairs.. the OP didn't ask what came on the installers.
Another example then.. Does Tiger OS have built-in port scanners?

The pop-unders bother me, too.
The various sites which say that they're going to use pop-up windows are mostly fine for me because Firefox supports allowing pop-ups from certain sites with just a click and a selection. Doing my taxes with TaxCut online was like that. The whole application appeared in a pop-up window.
Mac OS X, obviously, doesn't support pop-ups one way or another but the browsers certainly won't allow them.
Hardly semantics. If you do a default install of Tiger, you get Safari, which has a built in pop-up blocker. Its not optional as far as I can remember (or at least, you have to go to some trouble to not install it), Safari is part of Tiger.yellow said:
I don't believe that the Tiger install DVD has anything like nmap on it does it?

/Applications/Utilities/Network Utility.app
Hardly "built-in", IMO, though it does come as a default install from OS X and the port mapping portion cannot be turned of.. agree to disagree I guess.
