Re: virus on the Mac

I use the free version of iAntivirus, and it seems to work quite well in the background without slowing down the system. I would advise against using Nortons as all it ever seems to do is slow down the computer. Daniel F. Sent from my iPad On 26/12/2010, at 15:51, Severin Crisp wrote: > >

Thanks for the comments, Neil. Sounds as if you are satisfactorily escaping the heat. Down here it is a pleasant 21C, similar to yesterday, and we even had a little rain just to remind us that we were on the South Coast! As far as the DVD format goes I want to finish up with 16:9 .dv but it

Hi Mac, Just re-reading the wording of your question I don't lay claim to being a guru. :-) I can tell you some things I have learnt, however. I have had too many years experience running Windows for work reasons. To protect a Windows installation the best strategy is to run a firewall and to

Hi Mac et al I concur with Carlo's good outline, treat windows on a Mac as... windows. Since Windows XP service pack 2 Windows has had a "reasonable" firewall. As Carlo said make sure it has the latest patches etc. If you have XP that means service Pack 3 and a small army of patches on patches.

Hi Adrian, Did you let iPhoto complete upgrading your Library? You could try: 1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. 2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/co

I would just install AVG Free in the Bootcamp XP and do periodic scans of it and your external media.

Hi Chrs, Yes OS X 10.7 - Lion, is definitely on the way. The estimated release day is June of 2011. Lion is an attempt to bring the ease of use of the iPad and iPhone to the Mac platform. This will include the always on feature and the launch-pad layout of apps and self contained app style sof

Re: iLife 11 - iPhoto & iMovie problems

Hi Adrian, If that is the situation, I would suggest you reinstall iPhoto & iMovie'11 & upgrade both applications before opening either. Then let iPhoto upgrade the Library (don't interrupt the iPhoto library upgrade). Is the iPhoto library & iMovie in the correct place on your iMac? I'm on
