Re: Viruses?

It looks like it's time for another reminder about using accounts on the mac. In general, if a program wants to do something that is going to affect more than just your files/programs, it will ask for an admin account. You can keep yourself much safer if you have two accounts on your machi

Pandora app for Mac [was Re: Souces for Mac Software [was Re: Viruses?}]

Hi Josh, I haven't used this myself, but try an app called Pianopub, which you should also be able to find at MacUpdate. Alternatively, I believe that you can stream Pandora to other devices (including an Apple TV) through AirPlay, or through Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil app. At present, you'd need

Souces for Mac Software [was Re: Viruses?}

Hi Josh and Others, In general, you can find Mac apps that are both in the Mac App store and outside it by doing a Google search on the software name (e.g. "MacScan, or "Sophos") together with "Macupdate". The MacUpdate site is probably the closest thing we have to a general users review site

Re: Viruses?

Hello Josh I strongly suggest you consider the solutions on offer at which, although not free, are much cheaper than the Windows counterparts. Be mindful of the fact that the free applications only update once or twice a month, so the experts tell mer. The paid appli

Re: Viruses?

I would not worry about it now. Just keep everything as you have it now. I uninstalled sophos as I needed to do something and can't remember now but I've been safe and sophos comes out with updates extremely quickly. I'd google for it as I myself don't have it or check http://www.download.com a

Hello; I have always thought and been told that with mac and firewall, I've been safe. But, with only having it a week, I guess I'm not sure. Where can I get this free app? And what about avast? On 6/25/12, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: > Hello everybody; Lynne here writing from our hotel

Re: Viruses?

Hello everybody; Lynne here writing from our hotel room. I would say a definite "Yes" when asked this question. I do, however, disagree with Sarah's suggestion. I would advocate MacScan as your AV utility, and PriveScan from SecureMac to protect against malware and spyware. Don't ever rest on y

Re: Viruses?

i would agree with sarah about using sophos. i have just started using it so i can't say anything about the quarantene option as i have not had to use that option yet. rnib's "access it" had an article about antivirus apps i think and the author said something about using antivirus with systems

Re: Viruses?

My view points have slightly changed. I used to say no not at all, but when flash back hit this year and some others I said maybe. I'm still on maybe. I would use sophos anti virus. It's free and the only thing that's hard to use is the quarantine option with voice over but it is quite good. Ta
