Microsoft Security Essentials is free and decent, don't beg you for cash.
Just keep Windows updated and don't use it online for anything except for updates if you can all help it.
Use OS X to go online and grab files, clean them using the free ClamXav before passing them onto the Windows side.
When you first setup Windows and have it updated, use the free WinClone to copy the Bootcamp partition to a external drive for safekeepiing.

Windows 8 Install Issue on Mac Book Pro - 2013
I am trying to install Windows 8 and get this message after going through Boot Camp. "The selected disk has an MBR partition table". Any idea on the fix? OS has been updated... using a Windows 8 store-bought disk via an Optical Drive.
Okay guess what, I found tons of movies downloaded (teens) onto itunes and stashed on my hard drive. Problem solved with movies taking up so much space. I am down from 193 gb to 26 on that. But still can I delete those extension files ending in .kext and .jars and .ccl Look similar to caches.
Thanks -

The same message comes after repeated attempt to entering the login and password info. How can I solve this?
Hi Jeff,
Here is the screenshot of the window which comes after any attempt to download a trial version. It is in French, it means you have been disconnected, connect to continue. -

Increasingly FCP runs to 104 degrees C when operating. This can damage MAC BOOK PRO RETINA components, shortening their life-span.
Can you suggest what I should do apart from shutting down word documents and other software, Parallels, Windows 7 when using FCP?
I am gravely concerned with this high heat. I have to use a remote keyboard it is so hot, but gravely concerned with with the damage the heat is doing to to MAC BOOK PRO RETINA.
ironic - given I switched to Mac from PC this year JUST for FCP editing.
BTW - I am a film lecturer advising thousands of K-12 teachers and a have a report to deliver to the Education Department shortly.
Please advise. Many thanks. SchbangYou didn't mention what sort of work you're doing - if you're just cutting video this shouldn't happen.
My suggestion would be to optimize all of your media to ProRes .
Even though PR is a much larger file it's much easier on the CPU. Playing back compressed media is like rendering all day.
I routinely use an old 2007 MBP with a core 2 duo and FCP7. I can cut and color correct with no problem at all using ProRes LT files. The only time it gets hot is during long renders.
I have the laptop elevated on a pedestal that allows air to pass underneath . During long renders I point a small fan at it which often cools it enough to shut the internal fans down.
All that said, I know the retina is a more compact design and components are much closer to each other.
So, I'd be interested to hear from another retina owner.
Good luck.

After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.
This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.
I am attaching the screen shot of Desktop Gadgets and Security updates of Windows 7.
Kindly solve this issue ASAP.

Have you reinstalled the latest Boot Camp Windows 7 drivers, just in case Microsoft overwrote some of them during the Windows 7 security update?

we have a router at home that is supposed to support 10 devices but when i try to connect my mac book pro it says another device is using my computer's ip address
Are the IP addresses statically assigned (wrong ), or does the router give them out using DHCP (right )?

but I cannot connect on the macbook pro??? please help, regrds, RealWith the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config. -

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.

If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using ClamXav.
