How do I temporarily disable virus scanning software and firewall software to install a program?

I have a Hallmark Card Studio Special Edition. I have been unable to install it. I asked Hallmark and they told me how to do it, but I need to disable both the virus scanning software and firewall software to start the installation over.

If you just need a copy of the software, then download the trial copy of Lr available from Adobe. On entering your serial number it will then become a full copy.

How Do I Run a Virus Scan? Attempting to Resolve Gmail Access Issue.

Hello. I'm not technically savey and am in need to assistance in resolving an issue. I suddenly am no longer able to access my GMail account. The system will not accept long-used password. I'm working back through GMail assistance forum and was told "to run a virus scan on the computer," i.e., "scan your machine for viruses and malware. Get rid of any programs found during the scan." The message refers me to a Google Pack, which comes with free anti-virus software. When I check the website I don't see anything that looks like it is appropriate for running a virus scan on the computer.
How do I "run a virus scan"? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello Kappy, Thank you for your response. I reviewed a portion of the "Missing Manual" by David Pogue and figured out how to go into utilities and repair permissions. The following are the responses I got when I ran "repair permissions":

So what do I do with this information? I'm not sure what it means and how it impacts the computer. However, after I ran this, I was able to complete the goggle form for a new password (my computer no longer recognized my years-old password) and obtain a new one and then access my email account again. (I opened a bogus email yesterday that I have since learned contained a virus so I am assuming this may have caused my angst.) So I'm now back to my gmail account but not sure how the above information related to the "repairs permission" should be addressed if at all.
Thank you again for your assistance. I am truly not computer savey and what is intuitive for some folks just goes over my head so I truly appreciate your help.

How do i perform a virus scan

how do i perform a virus scan?

Bryan,
As there are no (as in none, zero, nada, zip) viruses for OS X running a virus scan would probably be a total waste of time, energy and resources. The ONLY reason to run antivirus software is if you frequently download unknown files from the Internet and then pass them onto MS Windows users. The files could be infected and while they would not in any way affect OS X they could affect the MS Windows users.
However if you insist you can download ClamXav (Google it) which is free, frequently updated and is fairly easy on system resources.

How can I temporarily disable dashboard client

I want to install an updated version of Adobe Flash. i am being instructed to close Safari (no problem) and Dashboard Client. How can I temporarily disable Dashboard Client so that I can install the update? I am currently using MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.2.

Use Terminal to disable the Dashboard. Go to Applications>Utilities>Terminal

defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
Then, restart the Dock using the following command:
killall Dock
If you want to enable your Dashboard again simply replaceYES with NO in the top command and repeat the process.

How can I do a virus scan?

How do I preform a virus scan on my Mac? Do I have do download a certain application?

Very Funny everyone. But seriously, for a moment if you will. Are we Mac users really that safe? Could someone take a moment and explain? I have been a huge Mac fan ever since my first iMac, the one that looked like a bowling ball, and crashed every 10 minutes. Even then, the Mac OS was way ahead of Microsoft. Now, ever since X was written, I have a whole list of things I say when persuading someone to dump their pc and own a Mac. I had heard that virus problems just didn't happen on a Mac. I'm a believer... but why? How come we can be so flippant about the whole subject. I guess the days of "Virex" coming pre-installed on your iMac is ancient history.

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,
How can we Hide / Disable the Help(?) and Close(x) buttons which are located in the right corner of the Top Link Bar in the Sharepoint Document Library pages as well as Excel Web Access?
Our requirement is : When we try to view the Excel Services Report from another web site, Help(?) and Close(x) icons are also appearing in the Excel Web Access Web Part, but we don't want to display them in our site.
Please let us know the solution for this case.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In the xlviewer.aspx, we can find the two buttons like this:
To hide them, you need to add the CSS into the xlviewer.aspx which stays in:

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,

How do i run a virus scan on my macbook pro?

I have been told by student finance to run a virus scan as someone has hacked into my account and changed the bank details how do I do this?

Hacking of financial accounts happens, and it does not require access to your computer, either physically or via malware. Although there is Mac malware, there's none that you are likely to be infected with at the moment. See my Mac Malware Guide. Most likely that answer was simply a catch-all answer from someone used to dealing with Windows machines.
However, if you really want to run a scan, use ClamXav. If it finds any malware, post the details here before panicking... most likely, it's just Windows malware attached to an e-mail message or something. (If it's actually Mac malware, the name of the malware will include the text "OSX".) Also, note that you should not let any anti-virus software delete e-mail messages, if they are infected, as that will corrupt the mailbox containing the message.
