Do I need to install Avira?

I got this info from twitter that Mac can be attacked by virus nowadays. And Avira has this Avira Free Mac Security.
Should I or shouldn't I install this to my MacBook Pro?
Tried to search the discussion, but couldn't find any about this Avira.
Thank you and really need info about this.

You're welcome
ClamXav is legit AV software; install it if you wish. But keep in mind it's really not needed.

  • Do I need to install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

    I am replacing a graphic designer's Windows Vista laptop with a Dell Precision T5500 desktop.  Do I need to uninstall CS3 from the laptop and decommission the serial number?  Then do I need to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing the CS5 upgrade?  I was told I needed to decommission the installation, but I don't remember having to do that with other installations.  Thanks in advance!

    You should definetly deactivate any software before uninstalling. But you don't have to install CS3 in order to install CS5. Just have the serial number handy for verification. That said, depending upon the user's needs, you might want to leave CS3 available.

  • HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS.  Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

    My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas.  I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one.  However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13.  Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely.  I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw). 
    Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod.   I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer.  I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not.  I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour.  He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck! 
    Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8.  I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums.  So...my question is:  Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what?  I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved.  Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

  • Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint 2010 - do I need to install SSRS on each server?

    Have spent some time today setting up SSRS2012 with SP1 Business Intelligence Edition on our test SharePoint 2010 farm.  The SharePoint farm is four servers (plus a database) - one of the application servers will host the SQL Server 2012 instance and
    SSRS 2012.
    I've installed SSRS 2012 on one of the servers in SharePoint mode, and seems to be configured correctly in Central Admin - can view the system settings, it reports that the SQL Server Agent is running, etc.  I've also installed the SSRS 2012 SharePoint
    Add-In on all servers.  However, I'm getting the following error whenever I try to do anything with reports (such as deploying or running):
    Name=Request (POST:http://sharepoint/reports/ReportService2010.asmx) System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by
    the server administrators.
    Sure enough, if I try to connect to that ReportService2010.asmx URL in a browser, I get the same error.  Note that http://sharepoint is NOT the server I installed SSRS on - this is a web front-end.
    Can I assume that I need to install SSRS2012 (SharePoint integrated) on all SharePoint servers in the farm?  Or is this another issue?

    You only need to install the Add-on for the additional servers. Have you configured the SSRS Service Application?

    You need to order the recovery discs and start over. Goodness people this is not Rocket Science! You need a media to install a operating System. Toshiba has given you all the tools to do these things. There is more than just knowing where the power button is. You can't just delete or formatt and exspect miracles. If you failed to create the recovery discs, then order them from Toshiba
    Dokie!!

  • Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

    Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

  • I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

    I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

    Again thank you.  If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email.  That's my understanding anyway.  Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator  as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

  • Error when running simulation with SIT 2010 on a cRIO 9073, what do I need to install on the cRio?

    Hi.
    I am trying to run a simulink model on a cRio 9073 using SIT 2010. I succesfully created the FPGA vi and the lvbit file in order to map input/outputs to the model. I also created the DLL and OUT for the model.
    When I run the interface VI on my computer, everything seems OK, until I get the following error and I am not able to run the simulation. I found a similar post earlier that suggests that I need to install the shared variable engine or the Simulation Interface Toolkit on my cRio. I tried to do both using MAX but could not find neither of the suggested installations.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hola jarcTec;
    Este tipo de error suena suele ocurrir cuando no se tienen las librerías apropiadas instaladas en el cRIO. Te recomendaría que abrieras MAX, debajo de la pestaña de Remote Systems selecciones tu dispositivo>> software, click derecho e instalar software. Aquí debes asegurarte que las librerías que te faltan estén instaladas en el cRIO. En Custom Installation selecciona SIT como opción para instalar en el cRIO tal y como se muestra en las imagenes.
    Espero esta información te sea de utilidad
    Exito en tu aplicación

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

  • To open "CS5ServiceManager" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.

    Recently updated to OSX Yosemite.  Now every time I turn the computer on I get this message.
    To open "CS5ServiceManager" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
    I don't know what CS5ServiceManager is.  And when I click on the "More Info" button, I am redirected to a blank screen.  So I'm confused and a little worried.  Is it necessary to install Java SE 6 runtime?  If so, I think I can find the instructions on how to do it, but I'd like to know if (1) it is safe to do so and (2) if it's necessary.

    Here it is: Apple Java 2014-001. Quite safe to install. Only necessary if you are using Adobe's CS5 suite.

  • When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime."

    When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." it also says "Click “More Info…” to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website." When i click more info it transfers me to an apple page which never loads, its just a blank page. I downloaded Java SE 6 like it says it needs but it did nothing. All of my other Adobe programs such as bridge, dreamweaver, lightroom, Photoshop, indesign, and flash all work except for illustrator. What can I do to fix this?

    Go to Apple and look for the Java for OSX 2014-001 link. Download from there and install it.
