• What is the best app/security software on a Mac?

  I have a MacBook Air (2015) and I was wondering what my options are, as far as security.  I want something that will take a photo using the iSight camera if a wrong password is entered in trying to connect to my MacBook and will send an alert on my phone?  I've seen a lot of options with Android phones, some have even alerts that give you a GPS telling you where your device, if stolen, would be, but I don't have an android phone...  So does anyone have any suggestions on software like this, or any other type of security software? Preference on the Mac App Store, but is the software is reliable I would consider buying it online or in a store.  Thank you!!

• I would like to know what is the best virus protection software

  original title: Best Antivirus.

  Hello.

  I would like to know what is the best antivirus. specification as below.

  load the use of fast, low memory, detection, quick update and quick scan. I want to know because I install Norton Antivirus 2010. But my father said to my office workload and slow computer.

  Is - this Bit Defender, Norton, Avast, Avira, ESET Nod or what?

  I don't care about the price.

  Hello

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

  Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• 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...

• What is the best Anti - Virus software out there

  That I work is trying to choose between MacFee, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG or Norton Commander. Personally, I like

  MOY.  However the Director asked me to look at this new and possibly check some reviews.

  "McAfee" and "Norton" I would not recommend for home use - even if you went with just the AntiVirus products and did not have the "suite" (I think almost all the "suites" there are resource hungry and complicated and only add to the variables when you have some simplistic question, you want to fix it later).  For professional use - I have a couple of sites that use Norton - and the (SEP) product works well and can be managed centrally - but their sales licenses and others are really a pain to get through (cross - you're golden.)

  AVG, Avast, Avira, MS Security Essentials all do their job well (again - just the product antivirus only - no suites.)  Regarding the best - * shrug *-what will change over time.  I have a few sites using Security Essentials - a little because of Microsoft's Agreements and cost.

  I highly recommend a combined installation of two products: eSet NOD32 AV (AV only - not the Smart Security) and MalwareBytes AntiMalware.  Yes - it will cost you approximately ~ 85 USD for two years of AV / AM protection (~60/two years after that) - but I found these two complicated each other pretty well.  Of course - it's for home use - although they would do their job as well for professional use - at a higher cost, I'm sure.  ;-)

  In the end - the best one is the one that keep you in the loop.  Common sense and diligence is always (likely to be) your best protection.

• What is the best mac utility or application to "clean" my macbook pro?

  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inch, mid-2014) with a 3 GHz Intel Core i7 and the 16GB 1600 MHz running OS X El V 10.11.3 DDR3 memory.

  I get ads online to "Clean my Mac" and wonder if there is an apple utiity that should be used and if not who is the preferred application.

  You. No software is required. Browse your files in the home folder and delete those you don't need just manually.

  Online ads as you describe are scams and should be ignored. Do not click on links or dial phone numbers.

  Free space on hard drive

  1. see Lion-Lion/mountain/storage of the Mavericks display.

  2. you can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.

  3. visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the free space on your hard drive.

  4. also see release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

  5 see where my disk space gone?.

  6 see the storage view.

  You must empty the trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.

  You should consider to replace the drive with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.

  Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.

• After using windows for some time Defender, I am now trying microsoft "security essentials". My question is what is the best? Security Essentials or Windows Defender.

  For all my other security I use norton 360 v 4.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  For all my other security I use norton 360 v 4.

  DO NOT RUN MSE AND NORTON AT THE SAME TIME!

  You will crash your PC often and it will become very slow.

  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 software project management for a Mac

  Hi I just bought a MacBook Pro for my business. My company has won an engineering project that I will be the Project Director. My client uses MS Projects, I can't on my Mac, what is the best option

  John

  Maybe this blog Capterra article can help you with choices for an alternative to MS Project for Macs.

  However, what I would recommend is to run Windows under BootCamp or a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMware and then, install a version of Windows from MS Project to be entirely compatible with what your company uses.

• 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.
