Title: Question for the computer geeks around here... Post by: VOLveeta on February 05, 2015, 11:06:21 EST The new mac? Sweet JEEBUS it's amazing. I have a question, I'm running both windows 7 (Parallels 10) and Yosemite. I have three crucial Windows programs I can't live without. Almost ALL of my surfing will be done on the Mac side with Safari but I figure I gotta get virus protection...
Which Virus protection do those of you who know this stuff much more than me recommend? I pretty much just did malware bytes on the old pc and surfed on my laptop. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Title: Re: Question for the computer geeks around here...

However, if you ever suspect you have malware use ClamXAV, which is available in the Mac App Store I believe. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT download MacKeeper or any of that other stuff. They're more trouble than their worth. Title: Re: Question for the computer geeks around here...

So as long as I only surf on Safari, I should be okay? me Title: Re: Question for the computer geeks around here... Post by: Live Orange on February 06, 2015, 12:42:31 EST Yup! I've been on Mac for years and have used Safari and Firefox mostly, Chrome a little, never had a problem.

I just found out, btw, that the pc I'd been doing photo work on for years was only running on TWO GIGS OF RAM! I don't know how long that's been, I know it had 4 at one time and I guess one of the cards failed. Now I'm at friggin 32! It's awesome. I LOVE this machine! I wish the makers of my three Windows programs would just go ahead and make Mac versions!
