  • Internet Security, Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware

    What is the best internet security, anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-malware software to use on a MacBook Pro 13' (Late 2011 model) on both Mac and Windows 7 (Parallel 7) without slowing down or effecting the operating system too much ? Do I need to get the free or paid version ?

    Although anti-virus software is not necessary on a Mac, you do need to be aware of what's out there and how to protect yourself against possible new threats. See my Mac Malware Guide.
    As for running anti-virus in Windows 7, that's a Windows issue. I personally put AVG Free on the Windows machines used by my family, but I'm no Windows expert. I'm sure different folks here will have different recommendations, and a few of those folks may even be Windows experts! (In other words, that may be a question better suited for other forums where a higher percentage of Windows users hang out.)

  • Anti spyware and anti malware

    I have recently visited some websites which infected my computer ,
    to start off my fire walls was not on which my mistake , then safari had frozen so the massage appeared say i should call a number ( 18555450253) for immediate response which I did and the operator said he is from a protocol security company. he showed me how the firewalls was turned off and told to push and hold the shift button , and then i was able to use the safari browser again . However , he asked me to log on a website ( www.fastsupport.com) , then I downloaded an app there and he was able to use my pc remotely via sharing mode . he showed me how my pc was not secured , then He asked me to pay for anti spyware and another program called sophos anti malware . i do not trust him please help me delete those malware and i have turned on the firewalls.
    i took some screens shot for you to have an idea of what i am trying to explain. thanks

    That is a COMPLETE SCAM. You were taken.....NEVER respond to that sort of stuff.
    I would reinstall OS X from the recovery disk. There is no telling what has been installed.

  • Antivirus, Internet security, and anti-spyware

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for products that are a must have for Mac?? I'm getting a new MacBook Pro and I want it protected. Thanks so much!

    Viruses? Not on a Mac.
    But it is possible for a Mac to pass on to a Windows user a windows virus received via email and then forwarded. This can be avoided by installing the free anti-virus app ClamXav:
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Recently 'Trojans' on a Mac have been the subject of some discussion:
    Whilst no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions, the appearance of Trojans that can infect a Mac seems to be growing.
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X. One of the first of these was called DNSChanger Trojan and is also known as OSX.RSPlug. A Trojan Horse, the software attacks users attempting to play a fake video file.
    Upon attempting to play the video, the victim received the following message:
    “Quicktime Player is unable to play movie file.
Please click here to download new version of codec.”
    Upon running the installer, the user's DNS records are modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
    SecureMac's DNSChanger Removal Tool allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
    A white paper has recently been published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:

  • Anti-spyware scanner

    Shortly after launching safari which included opening up sites from a previous session, a different window popped up identifying itself as an anti-spyware scanner referenced to gescansecurity.org. The window displayed, had an appearance almost identical to a standard "my computer" screen on a windows pc, but inside safari. It looked like the typical type of windows malware, with messages alerting of the many various viruses/Trojans ("downloader.win32.agent", etc.) detected on my computer, followed by a prompt to install "System Security Antivirus" and such by clicking "ok". With no option to close the window, and with no other active windows, I clicked cancel. I then get a message that windows security center recommends I install it, (can't close still so I click the only button, "ok." Cycle repeats ("cancel" then "ok") as I try to get through the seemingly endless cycle of message alerts popping up. I finally chose to quit safari. Researched issue on another computer. Relaunched safari on supposedly infected mac only to find it gone. What could have caused this problem, could I have inadvertently handled this issue incorrectly somewhere (as described above), and just in case, is there a quick and reliable way of making sure my mac really is/is not infected. I greatly appreciate anyone who can offer any help as I am completely new to experiencing this on the mac. Sorry if my description is too long, but hoping the details might better elaborate. Thanks again.

    If Cancel starts some kind of 'loop' like you got, I would simply close Safari and re-open it.
    The full story:
    No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
    Do not be tricked by 'scareware' that attempts computer users to download fake anti-virus software that may itself be malware. More on that here:

    It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download for Tiger and Leopard from:
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    The new version for Snow Leopard is available here:
    http://www.clamxav.com/index.php?page=v2beta
    (Note: ClamAV adds a new user group to your Mac. That makes it a little more difficult to remove than some apps. You’ll find an uninstaller link in ClamXav’s FAQ page online.)
    However, the appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
    If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.

    (Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:

    and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99.

    There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
    If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:

    As to the recent 'Conficker furore' affecting Intel-powered computers, MacWorld recently had this to say:
    http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=25613
    Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
    1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially p'orn'ography sites.
    2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
    3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through an AV application.
    4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
    5. Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. Similar risks apply to using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and similar sites which are prone to malicious hacking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8420233.stm
    6. Resist the temptation to download pirated software. After the release of iWork '09 earlier this year, a Trojan was discovered circulating in pirated copies of Apple's productivity suite of applications (as well as pirated copies of Adobe's Photoshop CS4). Security professionals now believe that the botnet (from iServices) has become active. Although the potential damage range is projected to be minimal, an estimated 20,000 copies of the Trojan have been downloaded. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:

    Last but not least, there is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:

  • Viruses/Spyware/Malware/Trojans etc. Protection

    I am new to Macs but am pretty tech savvy. Do I really need a virus scanner? Do I need spyware protection? I use ClamXav for virus scanning. But it seems pretty unsecure and not reliable. Are there any other free virus scanners/anti-spyware software? Also is the OS X firewall secure enough, I know that it doesn't stop outgoing connections? How do you deal with these problems? Do you use any protection? Thanks.
    iMac Core Duo/iPod Photo 30 gig/Windows Knowledge   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   17 inch

    Hi.
    I'm surprised that you find ClamXav "…pretty unsecure and not reliable". It is the usual recommendation for free virus scanning on these boards. In what way do you find it so? Has it failed to pick up a Mac virus that you know is on your system? Unlikely as there are no true Mac viruses 'in the wild'.
    The OS X firewall is generally considered to be 'industry strength' but can be fine tuned with tools such as Snort in conjunction with Henwen, or Flying Buttress.
    As regards outgoing connections, Little Snitch is a lovely little shareware application. The usual comment on Little Snitch is that it does one thing and does it well.
    You might like to take a look at Dr Smoke's Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware, &/or, if you've got half a day to spare, put 'virus' into the search box over there------->>>>
    Reams of comments have been posted and I'm not going to reopen the argument now as it's all been said before, but just so you know which side of the camp I'm on, I use no AV software. I have the Mac and router FWs on, I use Little Snitch and common sense.
    Have fun,
    Adrian

  • What anti-phishing anti-spyware is best to use on Mac?

    What anti-phishing anti-spyware is best to use on Mac? Any need for any other protection, anti-virus, firewall or malware?

    If your profile is correct, you're running 10.4.8, in which case you need to update to 10.4.11 immediately. Not only will this fix a good number of bugs and security vulnerabilities, it will also let you run the most recent version of Safari.
    There is no anti-phishing software for the Mac. If you want a piece of software that combats that in addition to it's primary function, then you want <a href="http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password"1Password</a>.
    There are no viruses for Mac OS X in the wild, nor spyware so there is no need for anti-virus or anti-spyware software. You can't protect against something that doesn't exist. The Mac already has a built-in firewall,; anything else is redundant and a waste. The only other malware is a Trojan Horse, but like any other software on Mac OS X, it requires user authorization before it can be installed, so as long as you aren't careless about what you download or install, you shouldn't have any problems.

  • Spyware removal for mavericks (or anti-spyware removal)

    Hi. got a prompt that I have spyware on my mac (older macbook) running mavericks; I understand that this is highly unlikely, rather it is someone selling anti-spyware software pretending to be infected. Problem is, every time I open safari, I get this window opening stating I'm infected and the only way to close it is to force-quit. How do I get rid of this altogether? Thanks-

  • Can anyone recommend a GOOD and RELIABLE anti-virus and anti-spyware ?

    I am looking for virus protection (even though I know I am safe, in theory) and anti-spyware software. Can anyone recommend anything that is really good? It doesn't have to be an all-in-one thing, if any of you can recommend two different applications that'll be alright

    Greetings,
    Like the OP states ClamX and MacScan, along with Integos stuff is out there. ClamX is free, but the other stuff costs.
    I have tested the full versions, as we have purchased them all, and I have a machine unprotected buy a corporate firewall, on a private network/internet access, and I have yet to find a virus or malware in my day to day use. I imaging there are some around, I just haven't seen any legitimate ones.
    Mac Scan can detect tracking cookies, and everyone can collect those unless you block all cookies and stuff.
    It's up to you, but if I were you and you had reason to be concerned, I'd look at Intego's "Internet Security Barrier" as it has it all in one package, but like all of these kinds of packages, you will take a bit of a performance hit.
    My main machine at work had ClamX, and Little Snitch, and that is all, at home I have Little Snitch and I have never been hit - maybe someday, but not any time soon. The test machine has Intego's stuff on it currently.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Is Virus/Spyware/Malware Software necessary?

    I am a recent Windows to Mac convert (I will be getting my MacBook TODAY!!:), and i've been trying to find out if it's necessary to run virus/spyware/malware protection on my MacBook. I have to admit, coming from Windows, the idea of NOT using anything kinda scares me...but like I said, i've always used Windows, so maybe i'm just conditioned to feel this way, lol. I also pay my bills online - are there security measures already built in to the Mac software that makes it safe to do without running additional protection software?
    Thanks for your help and being patient with this Mac newbie

    Mac OS X ≠ Windows. Discard your preconceptions...
    No, you don't need anti-virus software for Mac OS X. In general, anti-virus software does more harm (system slowdowns, incompatibilities) than good, since there aren't any viruses in the wild that affect Macs. No software can protect you from user error - if you download some software from an untrusted source (e.g. a torrent of pirated software), then provide your admin password to install it, well, that's a 'wetware' error...
    If you'll be running Windows (via Boot Camp or a virtualization solution) you'll certainly need it on the Windows side.
    Likewise, the Mac OS X browser (Safari) provides secure connections to secure websites, along with a private browsing option so cookies, passwords, etc., are not saved.

  • Anyone benefiting from anti-spyware or virus detection?

    Anyone with experience or opinions on anti-spyware/virus detection software for our Macs?
    I'd like to know if anyone has one worth while to recommend.
    Concerned with more and more apps., and blogging sites and websites visited.
    Thanks....

    Adding my two cents worth:
    At this time there have been no confirmed Mac OS X viruses (subject to the semantic debate about whether the iChat exploit from a couple of years ago is properly classified as a virus or a trojan horse and not counting the Word macro virus that can affect Office v.X or non-updated copies of Office 2004), very few trojans and no adware or spyware. I therefore do not feel that antivirus or antispyware software is necessary at this time as long as users are careful about what they download from the Internet or accept as attachments via email.
    It's never wise to become complacent, though, so security precautions are not wasted. Such security precautions mostly are common sense: don't download and run files from sites you don't know, don't double-click on attachments in emails you aren't expecting and/or from people you don't know, and make sure you password your system and keep that password secure, In addition, don't leave your your system available in a public place and unattended where someone unauthorized could use it and potentially install malware (such a policy is also a precaution against theft).
    It is possible for a Mac user to inadvertently forward a Windows virus to a PC user though you'd have to do it manually so the above precautions would probably prevent such virus-spreading, and said Windows virus cannot infect the Mac.
    If you do decide you wish to run antivirus software, I think that the donationware clamXav should be more than enough provided you remember to scan your system from time to time. iAntivirus has also been recommended by others, though I have no personal experience with it.
    If you are running Windows on your system, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.
    Regards.

  • My anti spyware programme scans frequently show many adware threats which refer to mozilla firefox as being responsible for this. I frequently quarantine and remove approximately 60 adware threats per day. Is there any way I can prevent this ??

    I am running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit (desktop) and windows 7 ultimate 32 bit (laptop).
    I have just finished a scan with Super Anti Spyware on my desktop and 36 adware threats were revealed. When I looked at the address of each one, mozilla firefox was included as part of the address. Is this genuine, or could it be part of an elaborate scam?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Cisco Nac agent "List of Antivirus & Anti-Spyware Products Detected by the Agent "

    Hi All,
    We have posture assessment working with cisco Nac agent. Checking only symantec Antivirus def update and installation. Since there is windows defender in all the user pcs and turned off not in use. But cisco Nac agent is showing both windows defender and symantec in List of Antivirus & Anti-Spyware Products Detected by the Agent field. We dont want windows defender to show in this list.
    Anyone encountered this list before?? Please suggest.. I want to get rid of windows defender from this list in nac agent.

    Closest enhancement I could check on this is
    CSCts34764    NAC: Request for ANY rule to pass if 1 AS/AV definition is up to date
    Currently Windows Defender AnitSpyware comes installed on all Windows 7 machines.  Many users disable this and install their own AntiSpyware product.  Currently when using the ANY AntiSpyware up to date rule, it will fail if say MSE is up to date but not Windows Defender (since it is disabled).
    This is an enhancement request to add the ability to pass the ANY check if 1 AntiSpyware or AntiVirus definition is up to date but another is installed and out of date.  Currently if a customer wants to accomplish this they need to create a rule for every AntiVirus or AntiSpyware product and use the "Any Selected Rule Succeeds" option which is very cumbersome to configure.

  • Email Virus/Spyware/Malware

    Greetings,
    I am rather curious as to how things work nowadays. Is it possible to get a virus/trojan/spyware/malware simply by browsing through your Mail Inbox and going through emails without clicking on any links in the email or opening up attachments? Perhaps exeuctable code secretly hidden in the email message?
    I received a spam email from an online social network called Twoo which stated that I had a message waiting for me on the website. I didn't click on any links whatsoever, I just read the email. Afterwards, I deleted it and considered it as spam.
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Most Mac users very quickly discover that AV software on a Mac is more of a problem then it claims it will solve. The majority of them are only able to discover Windows virus since that is all the is available at this time. To do that they use an inordinate amount os suystem resourse while search for nothing. They usually manage to corrupt files systems while doing that. They are also know to have false positive on file important to the system. So once they are quarrentined the Mac is dead. They do all of this great stuff if you install them. I personally prefer to go without them and avoid the problems they cause.
