What antivirus protection do I need for the iPad?

I am seeing some unusual activity after receiving an email.  What antivirus protection should we be considering for the ipad2?

None - there are no viruses for the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch), and therefore there are no antivirus apps available in the iTunes App Store

    You've been infected by a scam trojan.  You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac.  See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
    Trojan War
    If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
    1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
    2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
    3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
    4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
    Removing strange software can be a task.  The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item.  Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall.  Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
    After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software.  This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon.  After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon.  Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor.

  • What's a good forge game for the iPad?

    I was wondering if there was a game for the iPad kind of like Gary's Mod or the forge on Halo Reach.

    There isn't one, and there won't be one. Apple and Adobe could never get a flash player that worked. And now since Adobe has ceased all production on mobile flash, there won't ever be one.
    Your best alternative is to explore the app store for browsers that support flash and see if one of them will do what you want.

  • What anti-theft solutions are best for the ipad?

    Hello,
         I would like to know which anti-theft solutions are best for the IPad. I am ordering several for work and I would like to know. Thanks.

    It depends upon how far you are willing to go.  Keeping it locked in a bank vault comes to mind but I suppose you want more flexibility.  Are you talking about physical attachment or just something to discourage a thief, or something to protect data integrity in case of theft? Realize that in many situations somebody may steal something and only later check if it has any value.  If it doesn't they will toss it in the nearest river, but you've still lost it.  As for iPads, a thief can reset one and it's like new.
    Find My iPad - http://www.apple.com/ipad/icloud/#find - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network or data service, and not having been restored by the finder (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.

  • What Specific Firewall Rules are Needed for the DPM Server?

    Hello,
    We want to confirm which firewall ports need to be opened on the DPM server (not protected servers) for all DPM processes, so that we can set these rules in group policy. Below are what we
    think are the needed rules. Note that we have rules for both new DPM 2012 installs and upgrades from DPM 2010 to 2012, since these use different program paths.

    Questions:
    Are any of these rules not needed?
    We know the Agent Coordinator rules are needed on protected servers. Are they also needed on the DPM server (including if we use secondary DPM servers)?
    The DPM Configuring Firewalls TechNet page says DCOM uses TCP 135 and the RPC Dynamic ports. Does that mean we also need a rule that opens all TCP RPC Dynamic ports for
    any program? Or is this not necessary since we have rules for msdpm.exe and dpmra.exe? Reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757794
    What other rules may be missing, if any?
    Note that we do not include rules for ports 53 (DNS), 88 (Kerberos), 389 (LDAP), 137-139 & 445 (NetBIOS) because we already open these ports in other group policy objects.
    Also, the below forums post says two exceptions for SQL Server are needed on the DPM server to allow the Remote Administrator console to work. Is there any documentation in the DPM TechNet site on these rules?
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aa88fd00-6836-46d3-8a93-edb487109118/dpm-2012-remote-administration?forum=dataprotectionmanager
    Thanks,

    Does anyone have any comments on this post? We would especially appreciate some input from Microsoft reps to help us ensure we're setting up the correct firewall rules.
    Thanks,

  • What screw size do I need for the HDD data cable in 15" MBP (mid-2010)?

    In what turned out to be the most frustrating night of my life, I decided to upgrade my mid-2010 15" MBP from the factory 256GB HDD to a 1TB drive. All was well until the ultra-cheap internal screws stripped, which I have heard is a big problem. I finally got the mounts out with a little force, and then accidentally tore the HDD data cable.
    So when I tried to unscrew the small screws with precision and care to replace the data cable, those screws ALSO stripped. I managed to get one out, but the other one was stuck, and even the Genius at Apple said they couldn't do anything for me because their methods of extraction could possibly ruin my upper case.
    So I ended up just cutting the rest of the HDD cord around the last remaining stuck screw. I've included a picture below, the screw that remains is the one with the red circle around it.
    So the real question: I lost the other screw, so I have no idea what size it is and if I can buy it from a local hardware or electronics store, or is it something I will need to special order?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Signed,
    Screwed by a simple harddrive replacement

    Hey Courcoul, thanks for your response. I saw that they have the screw set, but I want to avoid paying $60 for the whole set when all I need is the two tiny ones. Sure, I could keep the rest as spares, but I think I've learned my lesson about messing with the internals.
    Actually, it's out of stock so I couldn't buy it if I wanted

  • What is a compatible signal booster for the ipad?

    There are a number of signal boosters for cell phones.  A few of them advertise that they work with aircards.  Does anyone know if there are signal boosters compatible with the ipad or what specifications I need to research?  It would be good to be able to access verizon when I'm traveling if I need a boost in signal.
    Thanks for your input.

  • What are some business uses to for the ipad?

    I'm looking for some business reasons to purchase the new Ipad 2.

    I'm probably not much use to you, then, as I know absolutely nothing about accounting.  For presentation apps, there's Apple's own Keynote, so you'd just need an adapter to connect the iPad to a TV or projector plus the Keynote app.  Alternately, you could get an Airport Express, hook that up to your TV or projector and then use Airplay to display your presentation from the iPad wirelessly.  I don't have personal experience with that, though, so I don't know how well it works.
    As for tax apps, I see a bunch in the iTunes Store, but I don't know whether any would be of any use to you.  You might want to check that out before buying...  you can browse apps in iTunes all you like without having to have an iPad first, though of course you won't want to buy any if you don't plan to get an iPad.

  • Domain Users To be Given IPads thats will File Sync to a Windows Server in the Company DMZ. Are CALS needed for the ipads ?

    Hi Guys.
    We are thinking on giving some Sales Staff some IPADs to use. All these staff currently have USER CALS. 
    We are going to be using some software called MobileEcho to allow for browsing and File Syncing from a Windows Server in a DMZ. This Server itself maybe doing some LDAP queries to the LAN.  Also some users maybe putting new content onto this Server
    from the LAN. Are any seperate Device CALS needed for this Server ? 
    thanks

    if the user is assigned a User CAL, no device CAL is needed.
    That's the main reason why you would buy User CALs, where there is more than 1 device for each user (or more devices than users, in general)

    although i ran GBX6 under 10.5.8, i do believe an intel processor is required. that means that the only complete solution would be a new computer, i'm afraid.
    the best you could do is export each track as an audio file from GBi and drop them into your GBX project
