I'm looking for an Apple official list of Viruses

I know there is a list of Viruses that affect Apples

There are reasonable write-ups on malware (whether virus, worm, or trojan) here and here.
Most of what's been around recently are what are known as trojans.  Those can be engineered for any platform, and they specifically target convincing a human to break local security on behalf of an attacker.  Usually to install it and to grant it full privileges, on Mac OS X.  There have been a very few cross-platform attacks around, as well; Javascript or Java or Flash based; these have been rare.
I'd ask for some elaboration around the goal of your question here, too.  A tersely-worded question can sometimes be quite deceptively ambiguous to a reader, and I can infer a number of different potential goals for your question.  These might be different details you might want to know, or specific concerns you might have.  Simple questions just tend to be open to various interpretations, unfortunately, and often not interpretations that you intended.
(I can also only infer how familiar you are with system and network security, too.  Accordingly, some or all of the above may be familiar.  Or not.)

  • Looking for an email discussion lists script.

    HI! I am looking for a email discussion lists script that
    works on a windows
    platform. I have looked on Google but only found Mailman
    which is good but
    only works on UNIX/Linux. The other I found has to be
    installed via a
    setup.exe which is only good if you own and have direct
    access to your own
    server.
    Does anyone out there know of a email discussion lists script
    in ASP or PHP
    or similar that uses an ms-access or ms-SQL database and
    works on a windows
    platform?

  • I'm looking for Windows Apple Configurator for iOS7.

    I am looking for the Apple Configurator for Windows that supports iOS7. I need to install a CA certificate on my iPhone and iPad. Does anyone know where I can find the utility, when it will be available?  Are the other options to install a certificate?
    Thank you.

    I just noticed that the apple configurator app for MacOS was updated yesterday to add ios7 support, so hopefully the iPhone configuration utility for windows won't be too far behind.
    On the other hand, I did just go through the existing profile I had from ipcu 3.62 and made a few changes, removing payload properties that weren't listed in the reference and also were not something obviously necessary.  After that, it seems that the mobileconfig file will apply to an ios 7 device, so that might get me what I need for now.

  • What is the best product for music and gaming? I'm looking for an apple COMPUTER. Not iPod etc.

    Hi! I am looking for an apple computer that would be good for gaming and music, movies etc. So I would like some input on some different products I'd be able to buy? The types of games I play are downloaded also. Any help would be good! Thank YOU!
    P.S
        I'm looking for preferably a laptop.

    while the Air can play many games fine, it is not an idealized gaming machine.
    examine a macbook Pro model at your local Apple store for evaluation if you plan on much gaming.

  • Hi looking for a bit of free  anti - virus and firewall for osx 10.8.2

    hi looking for a bit of free  anti - virus and firewall for osx 10.8.2 any pointers also any one used Mac cleaner ?

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
    Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
    4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore reduces to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    5. Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is a weak point in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install one unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so can corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. If you don't need to do that, avoid it. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    8. The greatest danger posed by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is its effect on human behavior. When people install such software, which does little or nothing to protect them from emerging threats, they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may do things that make them more vulnerable. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use.

  • Im writing a candidate and im looking for a complete graphic-list of all the IPHONE's ICONS (whithout downloading/paying the SDK))

    Hi!
    Im writing a candidate exam about how icons could help out a certain application in a smartphone format.
    I would love to have an overview of the IPHONE/IPAD ICONS that are used in the iOs 5.1 or earlier.
    I would assume i could find them in the SDK but i cant log in and dont want to pay 99$ for just an overview of these icons

    Thanks for the reply...
    And to clear out the symbols/icons requests.
    This is something im looking for - only official :
    When you mention:
    "Apple has guidelines and agreements covering use of their icons/IP."
    Of course they have, im just thinking it cant be illegal to evaluate and test these icons.
    As i cant access the SDK, do you know where the guidelines may exist?

  • Looking for international Apple distributors

    Hi,
    I know this doesn't belong here but I can't find any other forum to post this on.
    I am looking for the page on the apple website where it says and lists all the international Apple resellers/distributors. I can only find the US ones. I remember once reading a page where it had Egypt listed among other countries with the distributors/agent names.
    Any clues???

    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html?cid=AOSA10000 022132
    every country listed BUT Egypt - sorry. I googled service in Egypt and it seems to be unavailable.
    If you go to this site http://www.apple.com/euro/cemea/ and look for additional countries, Egypt is simply not listed. Aha! Found it - http://www.appleme.ae/ara/apple/wheretobuy/index3.html

  • Looking for app to keep list of club members, payments

  • Looking for the Apple DIY HDD Instruction (MBP2012 NR)

    I remember from my last Macbook that there was a website on apple.com where you could download instructions on how to replace your hard drives and RAM.
    There is a link on google which however only relates to the main support page. I know that upgrades are no longer possible for the retina and air models but my current macbook still has a regular SATA drive. There are instructions on ifixit, however I was still hoping to get an "official" document by apple.

    Ok just checked a bit further... For the 2011 model they still provide a handbook where there is an instruction at page 40.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1602/en_US/macbook_pro_15inch_late_ 2011.pdf
    The 2012 model the process is identical however there is no handbook available....
