RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ANTI-SPAM SOFTWARE?

Hello !
Can anyone recommend a good anti-spam software to purchase? I have a new MAC and I use Netscape Navigator for my mail managing system. I really want to be able to block out some email users from my account - but on MAC.com we don't get that option (like we can on Yahoo for example).
So any recommendations for anti-spam software?
Thank you! Pam

Set "Rules" in "Preferences," in the "Mail" application, to delete: "Sender is not in my Address Book", and "Sender is not in my Previous Recipients."
I have resorted to that BOLD move because of all the spam I was receiving that started several weeks ago. The spam was a graphic in the body of the email, which no rule would touch, except for the one as stated above, nor could it be bounced back.
It is working very well, and I am not using any other anti-spam software.

What is recommended for anti virus software?

I had a free copy of Grisoft AVG 7.0 antivirus on my PC...but now am a convert to a new Intel Duo 2 Core system...
Haven't seen much information up front on advice for anti virus software, have heard it said Macs don't really need it.
So...what is the low down and heads up on this? Is it best to have it?
Typically...anti virus software tends to go deep deep into the system, and will this affect the operating systems of OS X ???
thanks...

Apple recommends that we all use antivirus software; Mac OS: Antivirus Utilities. They know that evil people will be trying to write virus for Mac OS X.
I use ClamXav. It is free. It is continually supported and I update the virus definitions daily. It has never caused an issue, but has alerted me to a number of PC virii. It monitors my Downloads folder and my email.

OS X does not come with any anti-virus
Yes it does:
Quarantine
GateKeeper
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
There is also a Malware Removal Tool (MRT) that will run once with each OS X Security update that you install. It's designed to remove all commonly found OS X malware that might have previously been installed and not yet detected.
There is a feature in Safari (and several other browsers) that monitors your browsing habits and will alert you before visiting any site that Google's Safe Browsing system has recorded as dangerous. Make sure that option is enabled in Safari Preference->Security->Fraudulent sites:.

Recommendation for Anti Virus software

Hi Folks,
Can someone please recommend a good anti virus program? Thank you.

John:
There is no known virus for Mac OS X and most Mac users never use a-v software. If you are running Windows either in BootCamp or an emulator like VMware Fusion or Parallels, a-v software like MaAfee is recommended. That said, some Mac OS X users feel more comfortable using a-v software, and many of them use ClamXav.

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.

Please recommend good Anti-Virus software?

for my PowerBook 4?
I heard that virus and some spy-ware? are safer or mostly not harmful on Macintosh. I don't know about it correctly and didn't think about it seriously.
But I heard that if some spy-ware? like virus or something is on my computer, other people can spy what I'm doing and get my personal information. Is that true? Are there good resources I can read about them seriously? Also, please recommend good Anti-Virus software.
Thanks much in advance!

I searched and found there is one Anti-Virus software for Mac. (but not sure though) There is Norton Anti-Virus 10.1.
Even though I feel like my Mac PBG4 doesn't have any problems, there could lots of virus on my PBG4?
I read an article (from MacWorld's buying advice) and it says that "...if you’re just going to try it out, be careful about all the components it installs on your Mac..."
I'm not quite sure about the point of this advice. Do you recommend to install it if I'm not quite serious about it? Still, I'm concerned about my all the personal information and important data on my PBG4 and so on.
Thanks for advices and comments!

Suggestions for anti-virus softwares?

Hi everyone,
I recently brought a Macbook Pro and is preparing to set it up with different softwares. Right now, I am still not sure which anti-virus software I should use for the macbook pro. I have read online articles recommending Norton, Intego, and McAfee.
Can anyone please give me some suggestions or pros & cons to which anti-virus software I should use?
Thanks everyone!

XProtect works with all applications that set the "quarantine" attribute on downloaded files.
I'm not questioning your expertise, but how exactly do you know that? I'd definitely like to read more about it, and especially the "'quarantine' attribute".
It may not be something Apple publishes in its ads, but it's documented in Apple's developer documentation. See (search these documents for "quarantine"):
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/MacOSX/WhatsNewInOSX/Articl es/MacOSX10_5.html
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Carbon/RN-LaunchServices/_i ndex.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001369
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlist KeyReference/InfoPlistKeyReference.pdf
Apple is, as usual, a bit tight-lipped about XProtect, but I can assure you that XProtect's action is tied directly to the quarantine system. I have verified this through testing with a collection of malware. If the quarantine attribute is set on a piece of malware, trying to open it triggers an XProtect warning. If the quarantine attribute is not set, you can open it freely, with no warning.
That includes all built-in Aqua applications
By "built-in" I assume you mean Apple apps bundled with the OS. (Just making sure.)
That is correct.
other popular web browsers and mail clients.
And what if I'd like to use an unpopular browser?
You might not be a believer in popularity, but if a browser does not implement this feature as Apple has recommended to all developers, you'd be wise to avoid it, as they've dropped the ball. If a browser developer drops an easy ball like this, there are likely to be many other balls on the floor that you haven't seen.
How exactly do I find out if it's on 'the list'?
Carolyn posted a link to my Mac Malware Guide earlier... if you read that, it'll tell you. Basically, if you've got a question as to whether a browser or other file downloader complies with Apple's developer guidelines on this topic, just download a known good app from a known good site. If you can then open that app without a warning, saying the app was downloaded and asking if you're sure you want to open it, then that downloader is unsafe. (Of course, if you have disabled those quarantine warnings, this test does not apply, but that doesn't matter as you've pretty thoroughly turned off all the built-in malware protection anyway.)
And why is this 'list' such a secret, anyway?
There's really no secret involved, it's just a feature that most apps implement (since it's easy to do) and few users care whether it's there or not. It's not talked about, but it's no secret, in the same way that you probably never think or talk about the catalytic converter in your car.

Any recommendations for virus protection software.

Looking for recommendation for virus, malware protection for iMac running Maverick

Here it is again.
Many third party "anti-virus" programs only cause misery, and account for the vast majority of user-inflicted Mac problems reported on this site.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Any recommendations for a recovery software for my lost photos on my external drive?

Would like recommendations for a reputable recovery software for my lost photos from my external drive that I used with my MacBook Pro.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Need recommendation for hardware and software

Hi all,
I am doing a project related to current control.
The purpose is to keep the current at constant. So I measure the current and get the value; and send a analog signal to tell our machine to discharge or to charge in order to keep the current at constant. I need to write the program to give analog signal to machine based on the current input.
Also, the machine can communicate with user. User can monitor the machine operation statuse and current level, etc.
I want to use LabView to program, since it doesn't cost a lot of time. I saw there is LabView RT LabView FPGA, etc. I am confused whether all of these are just diffrent function for LabView or different software. Which one I should use?
For hardware, I have no idea what is compactible with LabVeiw. What I should use?
I am totally new to this. I'll appreciate a lot if anyone can give suggestions.
Thanks

I would recommend having a look at the C-Series Modules. You can then either use the USB Single Module Carrier, Wi-Fi Single Module Carrier, the CompactDAQ platform or the CompactRIO platform. Here is a page that gives a detailed explanation:
C Series Hardware
For your application, you will definitely need LabVIEW. If you decide to go with the cRIO platform, then you will need LabVIEW RT. If you have any questions after reading through, please ask.

Recommendations for log monitoring software

Hi there
I'm looking for recommendations of log file monitoring software, preferably with a GUI rather than purely CLI based.
I need to collate and monitor log files from OSX servers, OSX clients, antivirus software, network switches and firewalls.
Any ideas?

Hi and thanks for the advice. I've been looking at Splunk, but it seems a little complicated to set up. Guess I'll keep plugging away at it....

Need recommendation for training video software and Flash

Can the experts here please recommend some product to record a computer screen session that then imports well into Flash?
I want to build training videos that record the screen session and my voice and am looking for a software product that can do this.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Jay

Thanks for the link but this did not meet our requirement and I hope that
some expert here in this forum can help. There are hundreds of
solutions out there but most are just screen session recorders without voice.
A couple have a feature to add voice seperately. What we need is similar to
an actual video recording including voice where both go hand in hand with any
seprate integration.
A video camera would not be practical, but certainly there must be some software
that would provide similar recording, both the screen session and sound?
This woule be a recording of the screen session with a person speaking into a microphone.
Any recommendations?
Thanks again,
Jay

Recommendations for Video Capture Software?

Hi,
I'm looking for screen/video capture software to record what's on my macbook screen in video format. I've been looking at Camtasia, but wanted to know if there are any other alternatives I should consider as well?
I need something that will record what I do on my macbook screen, as well as let's me annotate and edit what's been recorded. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

This is a bit strange with apple servers today. For some strange reason, there seems to be a 5-10 min. delay in my post on this one thread only ....very weird.
Oh well, I'll post the info again in hope that it sticks ....
You can capture to iMovie which is what I suggest or directly to iDVD6 (via 1 step or magic iDVD). Your choice.
