What virus software is compatible with OS 10.4.10?

I use Microsoft Encourage for my mail and a combination of Opera and Firefox as my browsers (Opera mostly because of its security).
I didn't renew my virus software because the Mac ads said that I didn't need to, but closer reading led me to find out that your protection is only for my .Mac mail and Safari use.
So, what virus checkers are compatible with OS 10.4.10 and do you recommend?
Thanks. (Or do I need them? Maybe I don't I'm really not sure--that's why I'm writing, I guess. Am I protected without any other software if I use programs other than .Mac and Safari Thanks again?)

ClamXav works good and is Free. I only use it when I am downloading software for my windows side or my wife's PC. The only time you really must have protection is when you run windows. There hasn't been any problems yet with a virus on Macs but since it is becoming more popular who's to say there won't be a problem down the road.

  • What adobe software is compatible with iMac G5 (iSight)

    I was recently given an iMac G5 20' (iSight) running OS X 10.5.1 From what I understand this machine can not be upgraded to any other OS. But I'm wondering what software is compatable with this machine, specifically Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or CreativeSuite. I've looked for hours online, but can't seem to find an answer.
    Thank you!

    You should certainly update your OS to 10.5.8, the final version of Leopard which is indeed as far as a PPC Mac can go.
    I have the same iMac, and run Creative Suite 2 (Photoshop 9.0.2, ImageReady 9.0, Bridge 1.0.4.6, GoLive 8.0.1, Illustrator 12.0.1, InDesign 4.0.5.688, as updated along the way).
    I am not sure about later versions of Creative Suite, but they may be for Intel Macs only. Adobe's website should tell you.
    You didn't ask, but I also run Microsoft Office 2004, FileMaker Pro 6, and a load of other stuff probably not relevant to your needs - but ask anyway!

  • Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?

    What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?  Norton is slowing my iMac down and I'm constantly being bombarded by blocking messages for programs I don't recognize.
    Thanks

    Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
    You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
    If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
    Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

  • What video cameras are compatible with mac without having to download software

    What video cameras are compatible with mac computers without having to download software?

    Did you try connecting your camera to the computer USB port via the supplied USB interface cable instead of plugging in the SD card directly?
    No driver is needed to connect your computer to your camera.

    Regardless of whether or not you 'like' downloading and installing software on your computer, Canon DOES HAVE software available for your specific camera and it IS compatible with recent versions of the Mac OS X operating system. Maybe try that instead of whining here about it not being compatible.

  • What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?

    What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?
    I am using OS X 10.9.1 on my iMac with an Epson CX8600 printer/scanner.

    My new Brother multifunction came with Presto PageManager. I can't recommend that it in the least. Its OCR is terribly inaccurate to the point of being unusable in my tests. Even normal sentences came out mashed together.
    I wanted to try IRIS, but it has no test version, just videos, that I could find, and emails to them just led to a Windows demo that is irrelevant. They ignored my email asking about a Mac demo, so I could not even try it out. That pretty much knocks it out of the running for me as this software is too expensive to just buy based on their promotional videos alone.
    Then there's Vuescan, and it's not too bad for OCR and supports about every device you could possibly conceive of using, and that's a plus. It was fairly accurate, but not as accurate as Finereader Pro. The interface is a bit complex to my taste.
    I've been testing out ABBYY Finereader Pro, and they do have a demo, and so far it seems to be the most accurate of what I've been able to test. It gets pretty close to everything on English and Spanish, and supports most common languages (check the list on their website). It even properly recognized syllables of phonetic Tibetan (using Roman alphabet, but it will not detect Tibetan). The UI is pretty good, but not perfect and there's no way to train for odd words you might need. I haven't tried it for Chinese or Japanese, but for my purposes, unless I find something more economical, I'll buy this one for its accuracy.
    I really suggest you download demos and try them for yourself as none of these are particularly cheap

  • What label maker is compatible with Lion OSX 10.8.2?

    what labe maker is compatible with Lion OSX 10.8.2?

    You'll have to search online yourself and see their specifications if it meets your requirements.
    There are CD label makers, Avery label makers, standalone machines that spit out a label at a time etc., etc. check for Mac compatability also.
    A lot of database software also can make labels on a printer using the Avery numbers (or close to it) and similar sized labels, sold in office type stores aka "compatible with Avery 2060" for instance.
    A free piece of database software that works on Windows, OS X and Linux is the free LibreOffice suite.
    However you have to turn Gatekeep to "Anywhere" first to install it, link here.

  • What other keyboard is compatible with a HP NX9010?

    what other keyboard is compatible with a HP NX9010?

    Thank you for your response, Much appreciated. 
    I recently reloaded windows XP, the laptop was working fine but now i am having a problem with the keyboard, it seems as if the number 6 key is jammed, but it is not, when the laptop is booting up, it beeps as if a key is held down, when windows starts up and you right click, it makes a continuous beeping noise like you pressing a key, when you open up a word or excel doc, the number 6 continously come on. i removed the number 6 key and cleans the circuit as i though it might be dirty but the 6 continues to come, even though nothing is touching the circuit. i though it could be software related because i reloaded but when i did a disk scan, the laptop started up, when it came to the scan, it automatcially got cancelled, this is because it is picking up the 6 key as pressed. Could this definately be the keyboard?

  • OS 10.6 Server - What virus software to install?

    I run a small network with macs and pc's hooked up to the 10.6 snow server.
    What virus software is best to install on the server to look for mac and pc virus's and malware?
    Thanks

    Mac boxes are generally immune to Microsoft Windows malware.
    ClamAV can help you keep your shares clean of Windows malware, and the usual Windows AV client tools running on the Windows boxes can keep the Windows issues mostly under control, as well.
    If you want suggestions for Windows AV tools, I'd suggest having a chat with the Microsoft folks.
    If your Windows clients have anti-malware tools, then those should deal with infections from files residing on the shares. You may want to have just one Windows box configured to scan the shares, but that's an optimization.
    But if you have your wallet open as wide as it appears to be, the anti-malware sales folks will find all sorts of stuff to sell you. MacAfee, Norton and Sophos are around for Mac OS X Server (and supersede what the integrated ClamAV provides), and opinions of these will vary. I run ClamAV, but then I also don't have a huge population of Windows boxes around, and those that are around have their own AV, and those Windows boxes generally aren't permitted to wander the open network.

  • What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?

    What iPhoto version is compatible with Lion OSX 10.7.5 and will it let me make photo calendars?
    I have just upgraded from Leopard to Lion (via Snow Leopard) because I could no longer order photo calendars with iphoto 7.1.5.  However, I still have iphoto 7.1.5 and need to upgrade this.  From the App store it looks as though I cannot get iphoto 9.5.1 due to the incompatibility with Lion.  I was recemmended not to upgrade beyond Lion due to the age of my iMac computer (2008 version) by Stormfront staff.
    What is the best iphoto to upgrade to and how do I do this e.g. iLife '09 or '11, or are there any other 'stand-alone' versions of iphoto that would be compatible?  How do I know whether my computer is capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion?  I definitely want to be able to make photo calendars, books and cards.
    Thanks

    iPhoto '09 or '11 - purchase an iLife '09 or '11 DVD (amazon or eBay are potential sources) and install iPhoto and update to the latest version for your OS

  • IPhone 2.0 software now compatible with Photoshop Elements 6?

    While the current software is compatible with earlier versions of Photoshop Elements, it is not compatible with Elements 6 since Abobe changed their database (nor longer using Access). I notice that the specs on iPhone 3G say compatible with Photoshop Elements.
    Can anyone confirm that means Elements 6?

    However, to be fair, while there may be savings to be had, your company would have to replace existing phones with iPhones and tie everyone into one carrier (which accross a multi-office environment may not be practical, due to coverage issues). The iPhone does not offer the level of encryption available to a Blackberry/RIM handset, or the ability to enforce security policies on handsets, which may be a concern to your IT and Security people. It also misses some useful features (such as searching email for words/phrases. This is a feature I use regularly on my Blackberry, and I'm disappointed to not find it on my iPhone. ). And there is the whole, One Vendor issue that may worry some (you can connect non-RIM, e.g. Nokia, etc, phones to your BES providing the phone supports the required blackberry software).
    I've got to say, as much as I love my iPhone (and I'm personally migrating from my blackberry to it) I don't think I'd recommend it as an enterprise phone.... yet... It's still got a way to go. As a personal+business phone, I'm giving it a shot (as the personal side is quite good). My current employer is a small company, with no BES, so I use my carrier's BIS, and get by with it. As such, the calendar+contacts sync available through mobileMe is a plus . If I was planning IT direction for a larger organisation though, I'd be considering the iPhone (if for no other reason than an excuse to play with one ), but I wouldn't be preparing a migration just yet!
