should I install McAfee anti-virus on my Mac Book Pro 2008?

should I install McAfee anti-virus on my Mac Book of 2008

MOM it is totally unnecessary and could, indeed, create problems.

Serious questions are practically nonexistent on Mac OS X has built-in protection

If you insist, I would suggest ClamXav.

    Certainly not! This may adversely affect your performance, and
    also cause problems because they interfere with each other.

  • I installed the creative cloud on my iMac. I have a subscription teacher since last year and I have the right to install my license on 2 computers (Mac book Pro and iMac). Once I decided to install the licenses of Creative cloud on my second computer

    I installed the creative cloud on my iMac. I have a subscription teacher since last year and I have the right to install my license on 2 computers (Mac book Pro and iMac). Once I decided to install the licenses of Creative cloud on my second computer (iMac), it does not work and says that it is already in use? I just installed my certificates on a computer (Mac pro boo).

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time. Download and install as you did on the first computer, sign in to your Adobe account on the Adobe using your Adobe ID website, download the desktop app from clouds, then download the software. Sign on a computer that should not be used: log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

  • Just finished a clean install of Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Book Pro Yosemite and Adobe Application Manager does not and cannot install a new copy of Adobe

    Just re-installed a fresh copy of Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Book Pro Yosemite and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and so can't check my copy.  What should I do?

    I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager can be damaged and that I should install a new version of the MAA.  But after downloading a new copy of MAA and makes installation, the program (AAM) will still not installed.  It's like an infinite loop!

    Please, someone help!

    Thank you!

    HI gener7!

    I'm sorry but I'm not on creative cloud.  I'm still on CS6 and it was Adobe Application Manager was not working and I could not install the update to this application.  My AAM version is: 8.0.0160

    The link you provided was the update I wanted to install but it does not work.  A window will appear during the installation that says:

    We encountered the following problems.

    Setup could not initialize.  Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.

    and then the link to Adobe Support Advisor that leads to a page "Adobe Support Advisor has been abandoned".

    Thank you!

  • Is it possible to install Lightroom 2.0 on a Mac Book Pro running 10.8.5?

    I have a disc for LR 2.0 and I'm trying to install on my Mac Book Pro running 10.8.5.   I tried three times and the installation failed with a message saying to contact the manufacturer.

    I managed to install Lightroom 1.0 disk and it opens but does not allow me to create a new catalog.

    Is this just a failure of compatibility?

    If your McAfee is an Internet Security Suite, and includes a firewall: No.

    If your McAfee product is only one anti-virus: Yes, you need your Vista firewall.

    You should have only ONE Firewall enabled in your computer.

  • Satellite P200D-128 - Question about installed Norton anti-virus

    Hi, I bought a Toshiba Satellite P200D-128 last week and to say I'm majorly annoyed with Toshiba would be an understatement, and that understatement. Fine machine autoinstalled as its operating system, and I found I had Norton anti-virus installed, or at least I thought I had because a beautiful Norton logo quicklink arrived on my desk.

    In fact, only a partial shell of Norton installed and actually have an anti-virus properly functioning to connect on the site of Norton. This arrangement is just stupid, because I am well aware, surf the Internet without effective antivirus / anti-malware is not a question of if the computer will get infected, but when the computer will be infected.
    I have the experience to build my own desktop PC, and basically what I do is install an anti-virus package from the DVD drive with a front disc even connect the machine to the internet and then update the anti-virus software anti-virus Internet home before that I would all navigation on the web.

    Not only have a Norton Quicklink on the center of office crazy to think one has a functioning entirely anti-virus / anti-malware installed, but the partial shell of fools Norton also Windows Vista security in thinking there are a lot of anti-virus installed and it also disables the alert windows system that will remind the user of the computer if there is no antivirus installed package.

    This situation should never have been raised and I think it's a shame. Also criminal elements no doubt major behind the likes of malware, which struck upward on the ploy clever to have infected unsuspecting computer user with malicious software, which uses then the malware to put up a false messages of Windows operating system, which informs the user of the computer has been infected and asking them to download a fake anti-virus packages , must be particularly delighted with this situation, in that a user will be once they see such a message may well click the link of Norton and probably find their Norton is only a partial shell and then install one of the packages most likely fake anti-virus.

    If Toshiba and Norton had deliberately set to infect the computers of users with viruses and other malware, it is difficult to see how they could have done a better job of it, unless they had pre-installed viruses and malware themselves on the computer.
    I wonder, this case went to Toshiba and/or / attention of Norton and if so, what they had to say for themselves?

    Concerning the best and warm
    Adrian Wainer

    PS I forgot to mention that the partial shell package Norton also implements a toolbar in their browser, which reinforces even more the (false) impression that we have a fully functional package of the antivirus installed

    Hey Buddy

    I m bit confused about your ad and how you wrote this.

    I would like to mention a few facts:
    I m a Satellite P200 owner (it s even as P200, but with Intel the piece) and my laptop is equipped with the Norton Internet Security program.
    Of course, it s a subscription for 90 days, but it s a functional full version.

    Everything is pre-installed, but you need to configure and create a Norton account.
    I know because I read the instructions and information that are stored on my laptop.

    If you would in a full version of Norton Internet Security, you must create this account also.
    So you must connect to the internet also if you n t have an Antivirus Program preinstalled to set this up.

    Of course it must be updated also with the Internet because the antivirus definition file changes almost every time and the internet connection is required for this update.
    Why is it necessary? Because the image of Toshiba has designed several weeks ago and, therefore, the antivirus definition files is not updated.

    The same thing happens if you don t use the laptop for several weeks and don t perform the update of the operating system or antivirus.
    Don t wonder, therefore, you must connect to the internet to get everything updated.

    Please don t be angry with me, but I have my own opinion, you are one of the users who don t read the manual of the user or any other information that are equipped with Notepad and could be interesting for the use of the computer laptop but only start Notepad, install a few 3rd party apps and don t configure the operating system that is stored on the laptop.

    So I think that we could avoid this discussion if you read and check all detailed ;)

    Hey Buddy.

  • What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center enough?

    What I have to buy extra (Norton or McAfee) anti-virus or is the antivirus in Windows Security Center strong enough? I have McAfee on my computer, but my subscription has expired. I wonder if it is necessary to update? or if the antivirus and security installed in the Windows Security Center is all I really need. and everything is a little more kill?

    Hi RevStevieB,

    Windows Security Center helps improve your computer's security by checking the status of several security essentials on your computer, including firewall settings, Windows automatic updating, anti-malware software settings.

    If Windows detects a problem with any of these security essentials (for example, if your antivirus program has expired), Center security displays a notification and places a Security Center icon in the notification area.

    I recommend you to download & install the antivirus or security software up-to-date so that it works correctly.

    You can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.
