Don't get carried away by offers.
Spam, viruses doesn't affect macbook. It's all for windows.
But world is still progressing, have some free like sophos antivirus etc as a check up for drives to be used with microsoft.
Viruses doesn't affects macbook doesn't means that it will destroy it.
Check email from mac app '''mail''' for better junk filter.

  • Setup mail account for MSN hotmail account - HELP!!

    How do i set up my msn hotmail account for use in mail??
    Can anyone help with the ingoing/outgoing server?
    Please and thankss!!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I merely know the tool capable of connection Hotmail to Mac OS X's Mail program:
    httpmail
    Hopefully that page will give you enough to get started. It is much easier to setup an IMAP, POP, or Exchange Mail account. If you can get one of those in place of Hotmail, and have your Hotmail mail automatically forwarded to such an account, you'd have a much easier time.

  • I use MSN Hotmail for my email. Why do I no longer have the spell check option with Firefox. Do I need to download a dictionary? How do I do this?

    When I have typed an email and press spell check it sayed that browser will check it for me. When I tested it the spelling mistake was left uncheck by MSN Hotmail and or Firefox. Which?
    How do I get the spell check to work?

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    * You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
    * Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    * Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    * Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
    You can look here for dictionaries:

  • I think I have opened the sobig.f virus in my hotmail account and it keeps seding emails to my contacts. How do I stop it, and will it effect any of my other transactions like internet banking/shopping, is it safe?

    I think I have opened the sobig.f virus in my hotmail account and it keeps seding emails to my contacts. How do I stop it, and will it effect any of my other transactions like internet banking/shopping, is it safe To continue using my ipad ?

    This isn't due to malware. There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store).
    As lizdance40 says, your Hotmail account has been hacked remotely. Change the password immediately. Hotmail accounts are popular targets, but as long as you choose a good password, and make sure that password is not the same as a password you use with any other account, you should be safe.
    I disagree with lizdance40's statement that you have to abandon the account and create a new e-mail address. If a hacker is able to get back in even after changing the password, the problem is not with the account itself. There's another vulnerability of some kind somewhere. Perhaps the account allows hackers to leave a "back door" to get back in (such as with GMail's delegation feature), in which case any such feature needs to be reviewed and have settings changed. Perhaps you are checking mail in an insecure manner while on an insecure network (ie, a wireless network that requires no password). Perhaps you are using a password on multiple accounts, and a different account has been compromised. Perhaps a hacker has used knowledge gained by prior access to your account to achieve "social hacking" (ie, convincing a tech to give him access because he has "forgotten the password"). There are many scenarios, but there's no good reason to abandon the account entirely.

  • Problem with MSN/Hotmail/MS Live/Passport

    Hi,
    For some reason I can't access my hotmail account in Safari. It used to work fine, then suddenly stopped (no idea why). Have tried deleting cookies/cache/history etc... no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello, RedHavoc & Annette,
    New developments when i attempted to sign in today this is how it worked.
    Go to http://www.msn.com/ on that log in page just down from the log in box:
    Windows Live ID click on what most best describes the account you have (for instance mine is Passport)
    Works with Windows Live, MSN, and Microsoft Passport sites
    Account Services | Privacy Statement | Terms of Use
    © 2006 Microsoft Corporation.
    Click "Sign In" On upper right hand corner of the page, then your are take to:
    Enter email address & password, click Sign in. Bring you to MSN Account Services Home
    On Upper right hand side of the page click on : MSN Home | My MSN | Hotmail | Shopping | Money | People & Chat.</b<
    When you get to that page you should be able to Pick "Messenger" if that is what you use, or to My MSN, Hotmail.
    Hope this works, I also did not have to enable cookies to "All" for sign out either, which was a requirement for my passport account, prior with the use of Safari.
    Please let me know if this works for you.
    p.s. When I look at cookies it looks as if this method creates the live.com cookiesthat must be reguired to log in along with accountsservices.msn.com accountservices.passport.net, these are all cookies that are new , i know because I would look thru & delete them, ( which i still intend to do) so this must be a way of establishing new ids for users, I presume for "Windows Live".

  • Entering Mozilla FF msn hotmail E-mails will not load.

    Entering Mozilla FF msn hotmail messages will not load,I go to (options) then more options, then to (active view settings) then (Do you want to see previews?) < I check (always show preview) < I check (Do you want interactive email?) < I check No, I then click ( Save) then go to inbox, and then it will load E-mails until I leave hotmail, when I return to hotmail it's same as before shows loading but will not open, then I have to do the same as before. I have /MSI CR500 laptop/ windows/ 7/ Mozilla FF 8.0.1

    HI afirst,
    Just in case [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]], but before that you can clear the cache for a specific site in the about:permissions page.
    Select Yahoo mail on this page and forget the site. This will remove cookies and active logins for mail. Please then restart Firefox and relogin to Yahoo mail.
    If there are any other questions, happy to help.

  • I don´t see the msn hotmail application, what can i do???

    I erase from the dock the icon and i can´t find this application, thank you.

    Which MSN Hotmail application are you referring to?
    Do you mean Mail? or Safari? Both should be in the Applications folder on your hard disk.. Just drag it's icon back onto the Dock.
    If you're talking about MSN Messenger, it should be wherever you installed it to.. If you have MS Office, try checking in the MS Office folder (probably under Applications). Or try using Spotlight to search for it.

  • Anti virus for iMac with OS X Lion

    Hi;
    I have an iMac with OS X Lion,I'd like to know if Apple really offer a free anti virus for me, or if not so , where can I find a proper anti virus for my iMac?
    Best regards;
    Lama Yahya

    VIRUSES
    No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
    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 and Lion 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.
    If you are already using ClamXav: please ensure that you have installed all recent  Apple Security Updates  and that your version of ClamXav is the latest available.
    Do not install Norton Anti-Virus on a Mac as it can seriously damage your operating system. Norton Anti-Virus is not compatible with Apple OS X.
    FAKE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE and associated MALWARE
    Do not be tricked by 'scareware' that tempts computer users to download fake anti-virus software that may itself be malware.
    Fake anti-virus software that infect PCs with malicious code are a growing threat, according to a study by Google. Its analysis of 240m web pages over 13 months showed that fake anti-virus programs accounted for 15% of all malicious software.
    Scammers trick people into downloading programs by convincing them that their PC is infected with a virus.
    Once installed, the software may steal data or force people to make a payment to register the fake product.
    Beware of PDF files from unknown sources. A security firm announced that by its counting, malicious Reader documents made up 80% of all exploits at the end of 2009.:

    TROJANS and RE-DIRECTION TO FAKE WEBSITES
    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.
    You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works (by falsely suggesting extra codecs are required for Quicktime) here:
    http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_osx_dnschanger.shtml
    SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X.  It's available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/
    First update the MacScan malware definitions before scanning. You can also contact their support team for any additional support - [email protected]
    The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and 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.
    (Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
    and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
    A white paper was published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
    http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?main_page=document_ general_info&cPath=11&products_id=174
    Also, beware of MacSweeper and MacDefender (also goes under the name of MacProtector, MacGaurd, MacSecurity or MacShield) :
    These are malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer in an attempt to obtain payment.
    Mackeeper is equally worthless and should also be avoided. Again, the developer seeks to obtain payment for an application that does nothing that free utilities do not also offer, and in many cases it will also mess up your system.
    You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
    http://www.securemac.com/
    HOW TO AVOID RE-DIRECTION
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of added security as well as speed-up:
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    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!
    WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOUR MAC HAS BECOME 'INFECTED'
    If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:
    http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/24/mac-botnet-how-to-ensure-you-are-not-part-of- the-problem/
    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 this AV application.
    4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
    5.  Peer-to-peer sharing applications and download torrents (such as the now defunct LimeWire) supplying pirated software, movies etc 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, MySpace, 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. They can contain Botnet Trojans.  SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:
    http://macscan.securemac.com/files/iServicesTrojanRemovalTool.dmg
    YOUR PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET and the latest risks to look out for:
    There is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/20/technology/internet/20shortcuts.html?_r=1
    And if you are using iPhone Apps you are also at risk of losing all privacy:
    http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/03/hacker-claims-third-party-iphone-apps-can-tra nsmit-udid-pose-se/
    The advent of HTML5  may also be a future threat to internet privacy:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/11/business/media/11privacy.html?_r=1&hp
    Security of OS X generally:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/security.html
    http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/applemac/I731-007R-2007.pdf
    Security Configuration for Version 10.5 Leopard:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Leopard_Security_Config_2nd_Ed.pdf
    NOTE: Apple's Snow Leopard and Lion operating systems silently update the malware protection built into Mac OS X to protect against a backdoor Trojan horse that can allow hackers to gain remote control over your treasured iMac or MacBook: Macs running Snow Leopard or Lion now check for new malware definitions daily, allowing Apple to quickly deploy protection from threats before they have a chance to spread.
    Few malicious titles actually exist for Mac OS X, and those that do rely almost entirely upon duping users to install software that pretends to be legitimate.
    http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2010/06/18/apple-secretly-updates
    However, if you are running Lion Server:
    Apple's new server operating system -- OS X Lion -- is so inherently insecure that Stamos recommends keeping it off the network altogether and using Macs only as standalone machines connected to IP or Windows networks, not those designed for Macs.
    The Mac Server's networking protocols -- especially DHX User Authentication -- are designed for ease of use, not security. It is trivial, Stamos said, for hackers to set up a Mac user to download a file that will overflow the buffer protecting the heap segment of the server's memory, allowing the file's malicious payload to run uncontrolled in the server's memory and give itself whatever access rights it wants.

  • MSN/Hotmail accounts won't attach XML files

    I have included a SUBMIT BY EMAIL button on a form. MSN & Hotmail account users have reported that they cannot attach and send the .xml file. When they cut/paste the xml info into the body text, I save in Word as an xml file. Then I use the Import Data function in Acrobat 8.0 and nothing populates and I get no error messages. Help! Thank you.

    I've been experiencing the same problem with Safari for 6 months, including the latest v 3.0.4.
    I cannot attach a file to a web based email (I use yahoo email)
    I did not used to have any trouble, and I do not have any problem if I switch to Firefox.
    I read the suggested support articles, but manually creating an archive file each time is ridiculous, and there is no url or a place to put it for a file in my computer.
    I'm surprised more people haven't had this problem, I wonder what the issue is that effects so few of us.

  • MSN Hotmail Account

    Can someone please tell me the configurations I need to enter to setup my MSN Hotmail account on my iPhone.
    Or, I would actually like this better: can someone help me set-up "Get mail from other accounts" on my gmail, because I have no problem setting up other gmail and yahoo accounts to forward to my main gmail, but every time I try to do my msn one, a message comes up that says
    Anyone else having problems with forwarding their MSN accounts?
    Thanks in advance!
    -thealexness

    I had the same problem, seems Hotmail is on to us iphone users and changed the protocol for forwarding. I understand from a business standpoint why they did it, but it still BLOWS!
    Most of us Hotmail users still want to use our Hotmail account, just have forward messages to Gmail as well. The option to keep a copy in Hotmail inbox is available, so it's not like we are totally abandoning them. I have never considered swithching from Hotmail completely, but find myself in the process anyway.
    Hope they make some changes soon

  • Problems signing into MSN Hotmail

    I just recently started having problems signing into MSN Hotmail when using Safari. The strange thing is that I'm able to access it with Firefox and also with the built in mail program on the dashboard.  Just a few moments ago I wasn't even able to access the MSN.com webpage from Safari. 
    This seems very odd.  I had no problems up until a few days ago.
    Anyone else having these issues??

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    It actually started working spontaneously for some reason.  I will try above steps should it happen again.
    thanks again,
    Eric
