Anti-virus/Internet security for Mac software?
Thoughts about whether Anti Virus/Internet security software is necessary for Mac computers? How about a new college student?
If so any recommendations on which one to use?
Thank you
Mark
You do not have anti virus for Mac. Review carefully on known sites and you should have no trouble. Don't download questionable sites (Cnet, MacKeeper and similar). If you are unsure about a site, ask here in the forums.

I just got an alarm flashing indicating that I had a virus on my MacBook pro. Could not get rid of it, until I did a hard reboot. Deemed scan of Malware for Mac software? All this experience?
These alarms are generally scam popups loaded from the Internet and is not caused by malicious software, but you should always look for other odd behavior or unexplained slowness.

How can I provide internet security for my 10.7.5 unsupported macbook?
How can I provide internet security for my 10.7.5 no support for operating system Macbook?
The best way is just to use your common sense and do not download third-party applications, don't use torrents. Except that you can install AdBlock for stop pop ups. If you happen to get malware, download and run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.
EDIT: Do not use any type of security application Internet only these will create more problems than they solve.

Internet explore for mac port to work on OSX?
Community of appple Hello.
I would like to know if there is a direct way for internet explore for mac works. Safari isn't really what if all I need to work and want to switch to IE now that I bought a new macbook air. I found this resource online, but not sure if it works to make ie work for mac.
Please advise me. what you guys done for internet explore works on your mac osx computers?
The only way to use IE on a Mac is either:
1. use a virtual machine environment (VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, etc.) and install Windows
in the virtual machine.
2 install Windows on Mac via Bootcamp in a dual-boot configuration.
3 use something like Crossover Mac by Codeweavers. Although only limited versions of the work of EI
and not necessarily all that great.
4 an alternative to IE which is no longer supported, even by Microsoft because they are moving to
their new edge browser.

How can I remove the virus 'Internet Security 2013"from my computer?
This thing, which is a fake anti-virus program, somehow got into my computer at home. I found a command that it stop running, but whenever I boot computer at home, he starts. In addition, why Microsoft Security Essentials cannot find this thing when I run a scan?
Hello
I would recommend three programs to you, 2 scanners of anti-malware and anti-virus software; all are freeware:
Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.
SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.
The more I use Avast antivirus: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards

Camera NEX - 3N for Mac software
Hello
Only, I opened my camera NEX - 3N and trying to save it and download the software for my Mac and discovered that Sony software (memories of playing) does not come in a version of Mac OS. No matter what ways around it or simply not there to get the same functionality using standard software to MAC (iPhoto, etc.)?
The most popular help!
James
It is true that the PlayMemories home (WPH) software is not compatible with Mac OS. You can go ahead and use the built-in software to iPhot and iMovie on your computer to import, manage, and view the pictures and videos taken by your camera.
