Why Android is better than iPhone.

any recommendations for a free, effective anti-virus and/or spyware/firewall product to use on my oldest daughter's mbp?

Unnecessary.

Thanks poser and regder, that was helpful. I hardly ever use it since I mostly use my pad.

This site is really good, its basically a hint and tips on using Mac OSX.....if you have some time, you will be amazed on what that Mac is capable of, and will help you setup stuff that you don't know exist.

Just read the headlines that you see interest in, and keep browsing page after page....starts with new to old.

For others interested, this site is not only Mac OSX, it includes other devices too...just click on Mac OSX Hints, and the site will be at the homescreen with all categories(other device tips).

While viruses do exist for OS-X, they're pretty rare and mostly not hugely compromising. Personally, I don't run an anti-virus on my Mac and I don't know anyone that does either

really? i want to walk her through doing a tax return online, and install the software on her computer.

i'm not terribly comfortable with handing over her name, address, sin, and banking info to someone with a keylogger trojan infecting her mbp. . .

do you guys netfile on your apple products, sans any virus/spyware/firewall protection? really?

any other opinions here? poser?

cool, thanks.

I also use little snitch to monitor outgoing connections. Other than that, I keep my MBP updated and it sits behind a NAT firewall. Don't need anything more.

Thought this was interesting. Two senior executives going on the record stating that the current state of Android tablets isn't very good

Unless she has been downloading some illegal software like Photoshop CS5 or iWork, its highly unlikely she has a virus, trojan, key logger or anything of the sort. I don't know of any free virus protection, and the virus protection from Norton was always highly recommended against as it did more harm then good.
