What are some programs I can get rid of to speed up my macbook?

I bought a macbook like 6 months ago and love it, but I'm wondering if there are any programs I can get rid off (non-essential programs) to speed up my macbook.

None
Programs that are not in use have no effect on the speed

I can't stream video at my favirute sites anymore, I uninstalled some programs trying to get rid of the stupid bing toolbar

I'm still on XP on this older PC, this all started because of this stupid bing toolbar that has infecting many computers, and I started unistalling a few programs that looked like they didn't belong, I ended up getting rid of the bing but now I have a much bigger problem, I still have my adobe flash player of course, all the sudden when I go to a site like wiziwig.tv to stream baseball games it just doesn't work. I tried system restore to a previous date but that wiped out all my bookmarks and everything. I just think there is some file or program I need as I've been streaming shows at sights like watchseries.ch until today. If that bing toolbar hadn't came out of nowhere I'd be watching right now!

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].

What are the ways you can get a trojan or virus. Should I worry?

So if one was looking at an adult website and a new window pops up after you click something and when you try to close said window a tiny box pops up and then another on top of it asking you to hit okay if you want to leave the site, can you click ok and not have to worry about anything and also hit okay on the small box underneath it and still not have anything to worry about? I tried to quit safari instead of closing the boxes but it wouldn't let me do anything except click okay in bue to exit or hit cancel to keep looking at the new window. I have had that happen twice. Never put in or was asked for a password.
Should I be worried?

'Worry' is a problem more easily fixed than vulnerability to malware. Apple has no control over what you install on its computer, or what vulnerabilities Adobe or another company has built into its latest release. I like to backup regularly, and keep sensitive materials off your computer (on DVD, for example) until needed, when you can mount them.
Should you want to wander in such dangerous streets as 'adult' websites or security websites, 'worry' can be eliminated by switching your browser to Firefox, then add the 'Finjan' security extension. Now, when you use an internet search engine, Finjan will examine the links listed for attempts to install malware or engage in other suspicious activity. That should reduce your worry.
The latest Mac TV add says Mac laptops are very popular on university campuses. It's never too early to develop good security habits. Bad security habits are hard to break; and there will be a time when you need to.
The worst habit is not being careful: mistyping a popular website into the Google engine (I use the Wikipedia for a link to the real one), panicking when you get alarming e-mail, clicking a hyperlink on e-mail (without waiting for the real url to pop-up) rather that going there from a reliable bookmark or web-location icon (which is faster), paying with credit card rather than on-line bank, not clicking the little commercial icons to verify the legitimacy of a website. You get the idea: 'not bothering'.
When you click and button that says 'Click here to Close Window', it will often attempt to install malware. You can always 'Force Quit' from the poison apple drop-down menu instead, if you're trapped.

What are some cool things you can do with TWO Macs (one MBP and one MB)?

What are some interactions that can happen between two Macs?
I have a MacBook Pro, and my sister just bought a MacBook for herself.
I can sense that there must be something cool we can do between them, because it's Apple !
Any input would be appreciated, thanks and happy holidays.

You can use Bonjour to setup a file-exchange network easily and efficiently.
You can use iChat to create a video conference on your home network.
If you are into power processing, I personally have set up a miniature render farm with 3 machines all processing 3d scenes to make my own 3d movies and special effects.
You can share music through iTunes music sharing, and listen to each others music, video, and whatever-else libraries.
And thats all I can think of as of now. Hope that helps!

What are some good free virus and malware programs?

what are some good free virus and malware programs?

The common census by the old timers on the forum is that you should not have any AV software on your Mac cause its not needed, yet the forums are full of people that have been infected with Malware which the same people help clean afterwards.
This totally befuddles me. I take care of quite a few macs and in the past few years have installed Anti Virus software on them and other than Sophos not catching the latest kinds of Malware that are out in the wild, I have not experienced any of the problems that the so called experts claim that they do.
Over the past few months I have migrated over 50 Macs from using Sophos to now using aVast Free Anti Virus for Mac. Other than getting more alerts of Windows viruses being found in Mail there has been no downside whatsover.
I believe in the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. So with that I will recommend that you should have some sort of Anti Virus software on your Mac. As I said prior, for now I an recommending avast Anti Virus for Mac. This will protect your Mac from getting infected with malware before you have to come back and ask the experts here how to fix your Mac and get rid of the malware.
When doing a scan I recommend that you only have it set to only show infections. Since it cannot read some compressed files and reports them as an error.

I just caught a thing called nation advanced search on my iMac computer, which I think is a spyware. When I want wo go to google chrome it redirects me to this ominous nation search engeen. Has anybody got some information about it and how I can get rid of it? What does can it do to my data and is it really a spyware? I just found information in youtube, that it is a spyware, and that it has to be removed, but the information they give for the removal is just working for PCs not for Macs.
Please help!

Thank you all for the friendly assistance provided.
I have found a solutiton to the problem I was having. I hope that many more can benefit from the information I will provide.
I started at Finder, then went to GO selected COMPUTER and then Machintosh HD, then Library, Scripting Additions folder and trashed all that was there. This is what worked for me, if you choose to not delete your content its up to you. Happy Computing.
God Bless!!

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

What are some of your best practices for using videos in your marketing campaigns?

As video becomes more and more popular, what are some best practices you have for effectively using video in your marketing campaigns? Any cool examples?

Just saw this topic.
We use video a great deal in our campaigns. One of our best ones though was for an offering that the written word couldn't convey as quickly, succinctly, or visually even with graphics that a short commercial could do. We therefore created a simple video with professional VO work and blasted it out via email and social networks. The video clearly communicated our product and it's value to our prospects.
In return we got a enormous response of form submits from individuals wanting to download the products overview documentation. It is still one of our most watched videos.
We are now looking at adding in more value-add videos to go along with the current 'product information' stable to help generate more soft-sell opptys.
We are firm believers in using video. You can't just put anything out there and expect just because it is a video to do well. You must plan it carefully, think the messaging and value offered through just as much as any outbound offering. Time is still valuable and your prospects are always asking what's in it for me. Once they get something that they believe wastes their time, they will be more skeptical in the future regarding your videos or any messaging.
Keeping trust and relevance is essential to generating value with video.
