Anti-Virus and Firewall Software for Windows (on my Intel Mac)?

Hello,
I have just ordered my first Intel Mac, as well as my first copy of Windows XP. How ironic that I would be asking this on the Apple Discussions site, but what Windows anti-virus and firewall software is recommended? I want to be well protected on the Windows side.

Templeton,
It is embarrassing enough that I am installing a copy of Windoze on my brand new Mac, not to mention voluntarily opening myself up to a host of viruses, spyware, and other PC garbage. If I can’t trust another Mac user for help here, then who can I trust?
Thanks for your mere comment. Now, anyone else with actual knowledge to share?

  • Hi looking for a bit of free  anti - virus and firewall for osx 10.8.2

    hi looking for a bit of free  anti - virus and firewall for osx 10.8.2 any pointers also any one used Mac cleaner ?

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
    Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
    4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore reduces to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    5. Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is a weak point in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install one unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so can corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. If you don't need to do that, avoid it. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    8. The greatest danger posed by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is its effect on human behavior. When people install such software, which does little or nothing to protect them from emerging threats, they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may do things that make them more vulnerable. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use.

  • Youtube video is not playing on my macbook pro laptop. I have norton anti virus and firewall installed on it.

    youtube video is not playing on my mac pro laptop. Just a blank screen shows up where the video should be playing. I have norton anti virus and firewall installed on the laptop. Could it have something to do with it?

    unless you have a partition for another operating system, such as Windows or Linux, most mac users would agree that any a/v software is completly unnecesary and will do more harm than good.  There is a free a/v in the appstore called "ClamXav.   Have you installed all software updates and also have you tried youtube using different browsers (chrome, safari, opera, etc)?

  • Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows

    Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows how can I download them with out the install cd?

    Or for the same price you can order a new Snow Leopard disk. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    That would give you Boot Camp 3.0 drivers. With Snow Leopard and Boot Camp 3.0 you can install Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. With Lion and Boot Camp 4.0 you can only install Windows 7. If you install Lion with Boot Camp 3 and XP or Vista already on it it will work.

  • Do I need virgin PCguard anti virus and firewall switched on with Firefox

    Do I need to have Virgin media PCguard anti virus and firewall switched on when browsing with Firefox?

    The person who told you that you do not need another security program was wrong, Firefox is just a web browser.
    There are free anti-virus programs available if you do not want to renew Norton. Some examples are:
    * Microsoft Security Essentials - http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
    * Avast - http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  • Do I need antivirus and firewall software for my MacBook Pro?

    New to the world of Mac. Just purchased MacBook Pro notebook. Will be using for basic personal use (internet browsing, sending and receiving e-mails, MySpace activity, and using Final Cut Express for creating videos). Do I need to purchase and install third party antivirus and firewall software? I see some information in the discussion forum that this is not really necessary with Mac/Leopard OS X.
    Also tried to search Apple site to see if Apple "recommended" certain antivirus software, but could not find anything specific in that regard.
    If antivirus software is recommended for use, would like to hear what other users recommend for purchase. Thanks

    Welcome to the world of Mac - I hope you will like it here
    I came from the Windows world some years ago and have never regretted the switch - on the contrary. I love the ease of use, stability and security of OS X.
    There are a lot of opinions regarding whether you should use antivirus and/or third party firewall on a Mac.
    I was used to having all the security I could, so to speak, on my Windows machines, and with good reason - my antivirus program stopped "nasties" on more than one occasion.
    With OS X I have never quite felt the need to install antivirus. One reason for this is that there are very few, if any, viruses or other "nasties" in the wild for OS X. Another is that OS X works differently from Windows and is less vulnerable (but not invulnerable!).
    Regarding firewall, I have found OS X own firewall to be sufficient since I also have a router with built in firewall on my network.
    That said, there are those who suggest that we should install an antivirus program if most of those we communicate with run Windows. This is in order to avoid unintentionally spreading viruses to them, viruses that may not affect us but might affect a Windows machine.
    In addition, OS X in not invulnerable, and there are those who think Apple might be more open to peoples interest in writing "nasties" for OS X if the market shares increase enough. Then again - it is all speculation and no one knows what the future brings.
    I am very security conscious, but would tend to agree with those who suggest that a third party firewall and an antivirus program is not strictly necessary.
    Should you still want to have added security, I would suggest antivirus and stick to OS X own firewall.
    Two excellent antivirus programs for OS X are ClamAVX (free) and Intego VirusBarrier X5 (pay) (Intego also has firewall and anti-spam solutions). They put little strain on the computer and are considered among the best.

    All the best,

  • Do you need to buy antivirus and firewall software for a new mac book pro?

    If you purchase a new Mac book pro retina does it need antivirus and firewall products?

    No. Although disabled when you buy it, OS X has a built-in firewall that you can easily turn on should you need to. You would only need to if you were connecting to public Wi-Fi networks like at Starbucks. AV protection is also built-in to OS X.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using ClamXav.

  • Adobe Ink pen software for Windows?  Or just Mac?

    I am in a pinch for time and knowledge, so I imagine someone can answer this quickly.  I want the Adobe Ink/Slide hardware and software for my IPAD - I think it has great functionality.
    My second question is can I also use the Ink Stylus in the Windows environment too?  I see the "Adonit" Company actually manufactures the equipment for the Adobe program, so I wanted to know if I could interchange this digital stylus between my Mac's and Window's computers.  Or, do I need another style stylus such as the others that Adonit manufactures.  If you wouldn't mind, check out this website and let me know your feelings.  In other words, I need to digitally sign things in both the Mac and Windows environment both but I'd rather not go broke on hardware.
    http://http://store.adonit.net/products/adobe-ink-slide
    (for my IPADS - I'm assuming this hardware is not Windows compatible??)
    http://store.adonit.net/products/jot-touch
    (Do I need this one for Windows computers?, or is this stylus Windows based??)
    Please advise, have a wonderful weekend.

    Ink and Slide are not meant to be used with Windows or Mac computers, they are designed for use with iPad.

  • Anti-Virus Software for Windows Vista Beta 2 Preview-

    As many of you with MacBooks and MacBook Pros are already installing Windows Vista Beta 2, you may have forgotten about Anti-Virus/Internet Security software. Microsoft is offering Free Anti-Virus and Internet Security software from it's partners that work with Windows Vista. Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/windowsvistabeta2.msp x
    The Trend Micro looks a bit more promising, as it is their Internet Security Suite, and not just the Ant-Virus, as is from eTrust.
    I will be installing this onto one of my Windows Machines soon, and will post back on how they work. Hope this helps anyone installing the Windows Vista Beta Preview 2.

    Hi SkipHaughay,
    As far as I know Parallels does not support Windows Vista at this time. Vista must be installed over Windows XP on Boot Camp. IF you do install through Boot Camp, I hear that everything works except for sound and wireless I believe. Hope this helps.

  • I keep getting error 205 when downloading CC on a 2nd computer. PC, Windows 7. We had turned off anti-virus and ran cleaner

    I keep getting error 205 when downloading CC on a 2nd computer. PC, Windows 7. We had turned off anti-virus and ran cleaner. Any suggestions of how else to do it? I have creative cloud installed on another computer, but do not see the .exe file on it so I can't copy and move it.

    I found this log.  Is there a way to ftp the file or get it through email?

  • How can I find fingerprint reader driver and software for windows 8.1 Pro - HP Dv5 1225et

    Hi @mfatihbodur
    Welcome to the HP Support Community. I see that you are looking for Windows 8.1 version of your Validity Sensor and SimplePass software. I have included the links below but as your model doesn't have drivers I can't guarantee that they will work but they are the latest versions.

    HP SimplePass Identity Protection Software (Windows 8.1)

  • Synchronizing software for Windows 7 and Windows Mobile

    Hi All,
    I am trying to synchronize my PC with a Windows Mobile device (Scanner). When I googled I came to know Microsoft Mobile Device Center 6.1 is used to synchronize Windows Vista with many devices. But I am looking for a software which can synchronize my Windows
    7 PC and Mobile Device.
    Can someone suggest me on this. It's pretty urgent.
    Please refer to the System Requirements - Supported Devices section in the url mentioned below. This is for Windows Vista. Similar to this I am expecting a software for Windows 7.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=3182&hash=brh0xPqEh%2fYvZrNW0SOms8%2bsu3y9ux3a7FJ82ZE%2fKs5tbE5ltglLsiv%2fE1zCxMJLIpRUpN8wayd5sLmhjkXdag%3d%3d

    Hi,
    Regarding sync issue between mobile device and the Windows 7 system, we could accomplished it with device stage.
    Description:
    There are two primary ways to sync a mobile phone, portable music player, or other mobile device with your computer. You can install the sync software that many manufacturers include with their devices, or you can use the new Device Stage feature in this
    version of Windows if your device supports this feature.
    Device Stage lets you sync music, contacts, calendars, and other files and information with a compatible mobile device. It also allows you to perform other device-related tasks that vary depending on the device, such as creating ringtones for a mobile phone.
    What files and information you can sync depends on the type of device you have and what it supports. For example, you may be able to sync contacts and calendars with a smartphone, but not with a portable music player.
    More information, we could take a look at the below links:
    Sync music, pictures, contacts, and calendars with a mobile device
    Device management
    Besides, some folks told that Winodows Mobile Device Center 6.1.6965 will work and sync well on Windows 7 Professional, and to install WMDC, we should have Windows Media Player running first.
    Please take a look at the below thread:
    Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 6.5
    Hope this may help
