What is the best antivirus when running both OSX and Windows 10?

I have a new Macbook Pro running OSX El Capitan and 10 Windows via Parallels Desktop. I installed AVG Free on the Mac and Win 10 sides, however, it seems to be really stuck on side Windows - that is, he is always "up to date" and driving me crazy. Questions - a) do I need to run an antivirus software on both platforms? And someone has recommendations on programs that are better use? I have an active subscription to McAfee for Windows, I think I could install instead.

Thanks for any input.

McAfee, Norton, AVG, etc... They are OK. Usually, you get FREE antivirus software with your internet subscriber.

Comcast gives you FREE Norton. Check with your site to internet subscribers to the FREE anti-virus software.

    I would recommend mse, and here is the important part, XP as a limited user. If you are running as an administrator, a virus can make any chages to your system, including tampering with any AV you have installed, mse, windows firewall up and running as a limited user must provide a lot of protection,

    running as a limited user can be an inconvience initially, but once you learn how to adapt to it, your pc will be more secure and your exoierence of the user shouldn't be touched that.

  • What is the best antivirus, spyware software etc.

    Please can someone help me. I bought a laptop Satellite Pro M40, which is beautiful and installed Norton Internet Security 2006 and Ad-aware, however, I am so paranoid since going on broadband because of Trojans and spyware invade my pc. I posted another message because I control panel open as a shadow image in the background so did a complete reinstall using Toshiba disc, now another shadow appeared when online called Padtouch_wndllabel. I hear that spyware can disguise himself as other progs. I need real help base really like its all new to me, but wonder if there is any other protection measures I can take to check if my laptop has been infected or stop it in the future? -without going into the registry etc files? Maybe I should post this sub forum Satellite Pro that would be better?

    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

    Hey Beavis,

    I hope you enjoy your new laptop! Regarding the "best" antivirus and anti-spyware, there are unfortunately no one answer. Of course, having a protection is better than nothing, so you have installed Norton security suite is a very good start indeed.

    Personally, I use a number of anti-spyware, including SE Ad-aware, SpyBot Search Destroy programs & and Windows Defender from Microsoft. All this should be happy along the other, but it is very important that you have only one anti-virus program does need to 'control' over the flow of data in and out of your computer. More than a performer normally leads to each program struggling against each other, usuallymaking the computer unusable in the process.

    The seedbed thing to remember with any of these programs is that the regular updates and analysis of the system are the key to catch any visitors natsy - try once a week to start and see how you go from there.

    The other "trick" is to be sensitive to what you do on the internet: by clicking on 'Yes' to all these ads, or accepting what, you haven't read or heard invites the spyware on your system.

    I hope this does not sound too confusing or put you off using your new computer to its full potential - if you're not sure, just after here on the forums. If it's going to save you from frustration and concern, there is no such thing as a stupid question.

    Good luck, enjoy, and I hope this was help...

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you're ready
    to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (are not
    run several) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware).

  • What is the best program of security for iMac and I have pad pro

    What is the best program for internet security for iMac I heard bad things about norton and McAfee to consider. But I read that apple computers are fix any help please

    None. or the other.  Mac has all the safety integrated, you need as long as you exercise logic and causion.

    http://www.Apple.com/OSX/what-is/security/

    3rd party security applications tend to cause more trouble than they solve.

    iPads are a system of closed sandbox, and so no security Apps can run on them for the same reasons that no virus can infect.

    As long as you exercise caution and use only reliable sites and Apps, you should be fine.

  • What is the best way to run two concurrent programs using the output of either executing the other?

    I wanted to just kind of get a notice of some people here. I have two main screws the first is a data acquisition system that displays 99 different sensors and which feeds on these data in a table. The second is a real-time processing system that is designed to take the painting and do many calculations. The two output data from screw at the front that I want to see, so I don't want to use just as a Subvi.

    Is there a simple way to run two screws, using the output of the data acquisition system to power the processor so that you can easily see the signs before two screws? I had thought to simply copy the code from the processor in real-time in the DAQ VI, but I fear that the VI resulting will be very large and unsightly.

    On a side note, I'm more thinking about this? I apologize if this is a stupid question, it has been a long week... aaaand it's Wednesday.

    Look at the Architecture of producer/consumer.  It will be a good starting point, even if you find that you need to change.  When performing data acquisition and processing of tasks in parallel loops, they can both run simultaneously.  Both can feed data to the main draw of the VI.

    I'd probably use three loops with the third being the user interface only.  All that must be displayed to the user is sent to the GUI of the acquisition of data or processing loop loops and commands or entered by users are returned in these loops, probably through queues.  The wall of the VI of data acquisition and processing VI are never displayed to the user.  Especially the treatment, because it runs on a system in real-time, should avoid synchronization issues that can present a graphical interface.

  • What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

    • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
    • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
    • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

    I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

    Thank you

    Brian

    older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

    the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

    I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.
