  • Is there anti-spam software for Ipad2?

    I have anti-spam software on my laptop and desk top.  But, seemingly, there is no anti-spam software for my iPad and/or iPhone.
    Or is there?

    You don't need such software, thus none is available.

  • Anti-spam Forefront for exchange

    Hello,
    I am having an issue with the anti-spam. I have a 2010 exchange and forefront for exchange version 11.0.713.0. We have been just using filter lists to identify spam and then send them to a junk-mail box. I was looking through he Forefront settings and enabled
    the anti-spam and all I would get is a loading bar then eventually it will error out and close. I was able to disable it via command line but now my filter lists are not stopping the spam anymore. I just need one of the methods to work the users are getting
    a lot more spam since all this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    What's the error you encountered? Could you please upload a screenshot?
    Any changes that you make to the antispam settings with the user interface will not work unless antispam functionality is enabled successfully.
    Have you tried to use command line to enable spam filtering?

  • Free anti-virus ware for macbook?

    Can anybody recommend a good anti-virus program for my macbook air, i've surfed the net but theres so much conflicting advice and i'm no expert, help!

    thanks mate, just installed it!
    Where did you download it from (AppStore or Web) and did you follow these instructions?
    there seems to be an icon appearing next to the clamvax icon on my desktop, it says "warning", any idea what this is?
    What is the ClamXav icon doing on your desktop, or is that the .dmg file you downloaded from the Web? The application icon belongs in your Applications folder.
    If you have further problems / questions, I highly recommend you join other users on the ClamXav Forum and somebody will help you out.

    In General 3rd Party AV Software is Not Required as Mac OS X tends to look after itself.

  • What are the uses for Macbook pro and Macbook air?

    Hi! I am deciding between MBA and MBP and need to know what the different uses for each one was. Like what would you use the MBA for and what would you use the MBP for?? All opinions welcome!!

    They're actually pretty comparible in what they can do if you're talking about the base model of both (say 13") with 4GB RAM. At that level, the Pro has the advantage if you're going to watch or burn DVD's or CD's, as the Air has no optical drive. But otherwise, they're pretty much the same--full-sized, backlit keyboard, camera, beautiful screen, etc. If you're going for more than a basic 13" Pro, then things start to change. For example, you can get up to 8GB RAM on the Pro, and a huge hard drive, you can also get a 15" or 17" size. You will be paying a lot for these, but, obviously, if you're going to be working on, say, making videos (which you may then want burn onto disk) the Pro is very much what you'll want.
    However, if you don't need or want any of that--if, for example, you plan to do the usual programs (word processing, games, web surfing, music, etc.), then you really won't see much difference between the two. At 4GB RAM and a 13" screen, the big difference is going to be thickness and weight, not power. And in this the Air will have the advantage--it's really amazingly slim, light and with a SSD, faster (you pay extra--a lot extra--to get SSD on the Pro).
    Just to make the point, I switched from a 13" Pro to an 11" Air. My hard drive size is half what it was with a Pro, but I was barely taking up half of that amount on the Pro, and so have plenty of room on my 128GB Air (you can get 256GB for the 11" if you order it online). Absolutely everything my Pro did, my Air does (sans optical drive), only faster and lighter and more compact--meaning it takes up less table space, slips in and out of my bag faster, balances on my lap easier, etc. But there was no interruption of service--I switched pretyt seamlessly from 13" Pro to 11" Air.
    The Pro offers you more options for power, screen size, HD size and optical drive. But it's really pretty surprising how few of us need that much power, that much room, or the optical drive. It's very freeing to realize that less can be more than enough.

  • Anti spam field for form in CC14

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for a way to block spambots from submitting my form.
    As I really hate Captcha (they are always illegible) that's something I'd like to avoid. One option that I like is that the submitter types a particular word or sum into the field but how can I code the field so that the form will only submit if the value is correct?
    It's great that DWCC has included the option to make form fields required.
    Thanks in advance for advice,
    Jo

    It's not clear if you still need help because you have marked this thread as solved. Anyway, you are either going to have to modify their perl or php form mail script if you want to include the honeypot code.

  • Anti-virus software for MacBook

    Hi, I came across plug in for enhancing the efficiency of MacBook and protecting it against viruses. My question is: Does MacBook require anti-virus software such as MacKeeper? Or is this software a malware?
    Thanks, Chaitanya Mehta

    ... Does MacBook require anti-virus software such as MacKeeper? Or is this software a malware?
    I consider MacKeeper "malware" and so do many others. OS X already contains all that is necessary to protect itself from viruses. The best thing you can do is ensure your OS is updated using Software Update.
    Never install anything without knowing exactly what it is, what it does, and how to eradicate it should it do something you do not want. Never supply your user name and password to something just because a popup window requests it.
    You should also consider using OpenDNS which has recently been improved to prevent certain malware from spreading. It's free and has many other useful features.

  • Anti-virus software for MacBook Pro?

    Okay...seriously this may be the most ridiculous question out there...but can't find a **** solution to it ...so let it be ridiculous...or dumb? I just purchased a MacBook Pro...been using PC's all my life...and am wondering how the **** Macs are keeping our system healthy w/o an anti-virus software installed? How does that even work? Or does it not...and I should be afraid? I just discovered that my MacBook Pro does not have an anti-virus software as a standard....so am I suppose to search for one? Or is Mac way to cool to even deal with such? LET ME KNOW! Please. Thanks.

    Norak,
    I understand your concerns as I switched from Windows 2000 to Mac OS X in July 2005.
    There are three (3) well knows anit-virus products for Mac OS X. (I am sure there are others, I just don't know about them.) They are:
    1. Norton Anti-Virus. $70. Don't know if it supports Intel-based Macs.
    2. Intego VirusBarrier. $70. Universal binary.
    3. ClamXAV. $zero. Don't know if it supports Intel-based Macs.
    Before buying/installing any AV software, you should surf to:
    MacUpdate
    and
    VersionTracker
    and read people's comments about them. All three have weaknesses and the commercial ones have caused problems in the past.
    I have ClamXAV installed on my Power Mac, but I don't know if it works as it has never detected a virus. However, on my Windows computer, GriSoft's AVG only detected one virus-infected file a year.

    P.S. You probably also have questions about firewalls and spyware. Here are some answers.
    1. Firewall. The built-in firewall in Mac OS X is pretty good and very easy to configure. Its weakness is that it does not protect against outgoing transmissions (as Zone Alarm on Windows does). Little Snitch is software that performs this function.
    2. Spyware. Seems to be a non-existent problem on Mac OS X. There some software packages out there to address the problem.

  • Which Intel CPU is used for MacBook Pro 13" 2.26 GHz

    Hello,
    I want to buy the above-mentioned MacBook Pro, however, I don't know which CPU model is used (P7550 or P8400), since I need the CPU feature "IVT" (Intel® Virtualization Technology) which is only available in P8400.
    In some German discussions I got the information that both CPU models have been sold in Germany (checked with the tool CPU-X)
    The MacBook Pro with 2.53 GHz (P8700) has also the IVT feature.
    Does anybody know which CPU model is currently used in the MacBook 13" (MMB990*/A)?
    Thanks for your feedback.
    Michael

    Hello Rod,
    Today I was in the apple store in munich and checked some mbp 13" 2,26 GHz systems. All had the 8400 inside. I shortly spoke with a saleman, however, he didn't know about different models inside the systems and told me, that I can't test the system locally, but I can check it @home and if i'm not happy with the system I could bring it back within 14 days.
    My result from the mbp:
    machdep.cpu.brand_string: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz
    machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1
    I compared it with your results and the only difference I found was an additional feature "SMX" (Safer Mode Extensions). I couldn't find out for what exactly this is used, but I seems independ of the IVT.
    I believe that you are right, and the VMX corresponds to the "IVT" feature. If this is true, I could take any MBP 13"
    What do you mean?
    Thx
    Michael

  • IBook/Powerbook superdrive used for macbook pro replacement part?

    Can I use a superdrive from an ibook or powerbook as a replacement part for my macbook pro?

    I doubt the iBook drives would fit as Apple tended to use slightly larger drives but out of an Aluminium PowerBook you might have some luck.

  • Anti Virus, spyware for Macbooks

    Hi everyone, Im a new Mac user. Iam just confused about the Mac security, do Macs needs anti-virus, spyware software?? Someone said not necessary, others said Macs do get Virus so they need anti-virus software
    any suggestion??

    At this time there have been no confirmed Mac OS X viruses (subject to the semantic debate about whether the iChat exploit is properly classified as a virus or a trojan horse and not counting the Word macro virus that can affect Office v.X or non-updated copies of Office 2004), very few trojans and no adware or spyware. I therefore do not feel that antivirus or antispyware software is necessary at this time. It's never wise to become complacent, though, so security precautions are not wasted. Such security precautions mostly are common sense: don't download and run files from sites you don't know, don't double-click on attachments in emails you aren't expecting and/or from people you don't know, and make sure you password your system and keep that password secure as well as not having your system available and unattended (which also is a precaution against theft). In addition, it's possible for someone to inadvertently forward a Windows virus or worm to a PC user though you'd have to do it manually and said Windows malware cannot infect the Mac.

    If you do decide you wish to run antivirus software, I think that the donationware clamXav should be more than enough provided you remember to scan your system from time to time.
    If you are running Windows on your system, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.
