Using Norton AntiVirus with the iMac

For years I used Norton AntiVirus on my iMac with no problems that I know.  Recently, a novice iMac user was informed by a person from a person of type Geek Squad remove Norton AntiVirus from his Mac immediately because it destroys all of Apple security that protects us.  Is there any truth to this?

Norton AV is NOT recommended for any Mac. Norton has a long sordid history of manufacturing OS X unstable and creates more problems than it solves. OS X is extremely secure and doesn't require any AV, cleaning or other third-party applications 'maintenance' to function well. So simply kept up to date OS X in most cases will run without problem for years. I HIGHLY recommend that you uninstall Norton by following instructions to uninstall Norton!

    N ° no programs can be installed on the Surface. Now, if Norton makes an app to the Surface, then of course you can install the application. In my opinion, the Group advocate is more than enough for safety, we have run Defender and Security Essentials since the beginning and have never had a virus. Now that both programs have merged into one big program of Defender, just us that.

    Please can someone tell if I can use my creations with the tool shape in Photoshop, commercially for example on t-shirts. Thank you.

    Yes.  No problem.

    [EDIT]  I decided to qualify that.  No problem with forms that come standard with Photoshop, but just about every logo, symbol of the brand, can be downloaded in two vector forms and brush presets.  It would be another story, obviously if you have used this kind of work, but you knew I'm sure.

  • InDesign cs6 still not compatible with the iMac 5K, his frustration that adobe is not fixing this issue! Perhaps a strategy to move to Adobe CC? I have urgent need to know how can I run the application correctly.

    It will never be updated for InDesign CS6. This has been discussed to death. Adobe updated the CS6 applications that she could update. Illustrator and Photoshop come to mind, so your conspiracy theory is incorrect.

    InDesign should be re-written from scratch due to the difference in the way it was designed.

    Your choice is to live with it or move to creative cloud.

    How guys do you overcome (Mac Book and iMac) screen sizes with disabilities when creating scrolling effects, can work the same on both screens when you started with the iMac?

    Technically, since it's the same effect with the same settings, it works on both sizes. However, you need to test both is to decide if it will appear visually correct on both screens or not. On screens more wider/taller objects can appear earlier on the screen, it is advised to test again on both screens.

    See you soon,.

    I have the desktop iMac 27 in. on which I have my iTunes.  I want to buy some speakers for the room which will connect to the iMac's wireless.  Someone at - it a system like this to recommend.  I looked the Sonos speakers that run through wi - fy - but don't know if that's what I need.  Any input would be appreciated.

    Speakers are a very personal choice. Better would be those that you love the most. Which may be different from someone else.

    Excellent fact Bose pregnant BT that work with your iMac, I like them a bit. However, some say that they can be too bass-ey.

    You must listen to the speakers to find the ones you want to use.

    Try looking at Bose or Harman Kardon to start. Any pregnant BT should work with your iMac

  • HP deskjet 5650 color with the IMac use

    Hope you can help - tried to install the new driver to activate my printer to print in color when it is connected to the new Imac.  Operating system is OS X Maverick and is not in the drop-down options on the HP website.  My printer is really too old to be compatible (printed in color) with my imac?  It prints fine in black and white, but just not in full colour.  Have checked the settings and connected a laptop to the same printer and print in color perfectly fine... Tried to download driver OS X but it downloaded then could not open with error message on screen: cannot open the OS X HP Inkjet Installer application because the Power PC applications are no longer supported.

    Any ideas to help me please?  Thank you very much...

    Hi BBHRJane,

    Apple offers third-party software for scanners and printers by using the software update. To set up your printer or scanner, just connect it to your Mac. If the software is needed and available, OS X automatically downloads and installs.

    This article is a comprehensive list of the models currently supported for printer and scanner and associated software provided by third-party vendors as of November 14, 2013. OS X: printer and scanner software available for download.

    The Deskjet 5650 isn't on the list. Although I prefer not to be the bearer of bad news, the fact of the matter is, the Deskjet 5650 does not have a compatible driver to work with 10.9.

    On a positive note, you could call HP. HP may be able to offer a more recent model, which is compatible for a cost reduced. The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for the Canada and US or you can Contact HP worldwide.< click="" here="" and="" select="" your="">
