What is a good spyware program to download

What is a good spyware program to download?

I strongly disagree with Shootist007.  Google "OSX Flashback" to see the damage a recent Trojan was able to do by infecting thousands of MAC's - many of whom shared the view of Shootist I suspect. OSX is susceptible to viruses just like Windows machines- however, just on a much smaller scale.
Apple itself even recently removed the famous tag line " Mac's don't get viruses " from it's advertising because it is simply no longer true.
Personally, I've used Norton Internet security for MAC - and found it to be very good. I currently use AVAST free antivirus however on my Macbook PRO and it also seems sufficent. You can obtain this by going to www.download.com  and you'll note its among the most downloaded MAC software on the site.
Also - if you have not done so -  make sure your firewall is turned on by going to the security settings. I'd also suggest going to safari preferences and unchecking the box marked "JAVA", not to be confused with JAVA SCRIPT which is ok. This is how the "Flashback trojan"  I mentioned earlier exploited OSX.
Best of luck !

  • What's a good karaoke program/app for the iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro. I need lyrics and tempo shown.

    What's a good karaoke program so I can practice at home ? I need the lyrics and tempo shown like a professional setup for the pc windows lline and the app should be similar throught IOS platforms and Mac.

    You'll need an adapter cable, and which one you need depends on what version MBP you have and the inputs on the monitor.
    I just recently purchased a Dell U2410 to use as a second display with my iMac. Overall I'm pretty happy with but my use is a little different, I wanted something with very good color accuracy for photo work.  Based on what you said your needs are, you probably don't have to spend as much. 
    One thing I will say, is this particular monitor (and I believe all Dells) has an antiglare screen on it, which to be honest, took me a little getting used to.  Because of the matte surface, text and documents aren't quite as sharp and can even look a little hazy at times.  For your uses  you may be better off with a glossy screen as long as glare isn't going to be too much an issue for you.
    BenQ makes some pretty nice and affordable monitors these days LED backlit or otherwise, and on that note, theres absolutely nothing at all wrong with non "LED" monitors, both technologies are still using an LCD panel for the display, they just deal with the backlighting differently.
    As the other poster mentioned, NEC is always a good option as well.  Less common on the consumer side, but they make very good professional products.

  • What is a good recovery program

    Hi I am looking for a good recovery program, someone has mentioned  Disk Drill, can anyone recommend this, or are there better options.I've mistakenly deleted an image folder and hopefully I shall be able to recover it, as the images are quite important.
    Regards
    Richard

    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. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service, such as Data Recovery by DriveSavers, which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • What is a good billing program that won't delete my charged work!?

    I have been using iRatchet (the same program as MacFreelance under a different name) and it has recently been changing my billed numbers on it's own. I will let the timer go for a certain amount of time and then iRatchet will just lower the price on it's own! I would like to know either if there is a good app out there that would not do that or a way to fix iRatchet. I have tried to talk to the iRatchet and MacFreelance people put they don't return my emails.

    I have started using Billings and it works pretty well.

  • What's a good file recovery program for a MacBook Pro running IS 10.7.5?

    Hey gang - I ordered a miniStack 4TB external hard drive from OWC a few months ago during a long overseas trip. I finally unwrapped it and started dumping data to the drive from the 1TB drives (also from OWC) I used via my MacBook Pro. I connected the 4TB to the laptop with FW800.
    I came back from the gym (gone about two hours) and saw a "the drive wasn't disconnected properly..." window. There was a clicking noise coming from the drive, which means mechanical failure.
    I went into Disk Utility and the drive is there but it's grayed out. I changed cables to USB 3.0. Unplugged the drive. Shut down the laptop. Then went through the start up and nadda.
    So before I run off a disk repair place in town and spend $1000, what's a good hard drive recovery program to use to pull the data? I only dumped 1.5TBs until the 4TB and have other drives to dump that data too if I need to.
    Thanks.
    Cheers,
    Bill.

  • What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

    What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

    What are you trying to do?
    You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
    Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
    If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
    If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

  • What is a good download broadband speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s. Is that good or bad?

    What is a good download speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s is this good or bad?

    It's average. Do you have cable or DSL? I'm moving into an apartment that has cable speeds of up to 20 megabits per second. Cable speeds do vary and, at the low end, run around 5 megabits per second.
    So - cable or DSL. If cable, call your local ISP and see if they have a package with higher Internet speeds.

  • 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.

  • What's  a good jpeg downloader?

    What's a good jpg downloader?

    With many Jpegs online, you do not need to right click all of the time to get the image downloaded to your Mac.
    One other way to download Jpeg images is to click on an image and drag it off onto the Mac desktop or an open folder where you save your Jpegs.
    If you save larger Jpeg images,
    Another way is to activate tab browsing in Safari in Safari's Prefernces each time you click on a Jpeg it will open in its own tabbed window. Once you have a bunch of Jpegs in each tabbed window, you can simply click and drag each Jpeg off of each tabbed window to either the Mac desktop or whatever folder that you have open to save your Jpeg images into.
