Windows On Mac :: Using Best Virus Protection/fully Updated?

Jul 13, 2010

I will mostly use it for PSD, Final Cut, Logic, Entourage and iTunes.

However, I am also planning to use Fusion/Parallels to run, exclusively, Microsoft Excel, PP, Word and Acrobat. I will NOT use the Internet or play games while in Windows mode. Does the following setup reasonably protect my mac from viruses?

1. Bootcamp
2. Fusion/Parallels
3. Install anti-virus software on Microsoft side
3. Do not operate Outlook or Internet on PC side
4. Receive all e-mails on Mac (Entourage or G-mail)

Mar 15, 2010

I am new to the Mac and I just want to make sure before I do anything. I have a friend that wants me to download the MSN CHat program so we can instant chat. Will that open me up to possible any virus stuff? I know you do not have to run any virus protection on a Mac unless you run Windows.

Also if it matters my friend is on a PC.

OS X :: Virus Protection For 10.5.8 On G5?

Jul 14, 2010

So I was thinking...as Leopard gets older and Apple eventually stops updating the security features, will there be more need to go out and buy a program like Norton Antivirus for mac? We mac users take pride in NOT having to have antivirus programs like the PC market, but is it advisable?

I'm wondering if I should buy Norton for mac (only $50, which I thought was reasonable,) to install on my PM G5. What are your guys' thoughts?

Jun 21, 2010

I've just ordered my first Mac (ever) 27" i7 8Gb 2Tb. I figured if I'm in... I'm going all the way in, so now I have to wait 10 days (build time I'm told).

Anyway my 1st question to the brains trust out there is do I need internet security/antivirus software on my new iMac.

OS X :: Virus Protection On My Virtual Machine On Mac?

Jun 10, 2010

I run Windows 7 on my Mac using Parallels Desktop and the virtual machine is protected by Kasperky. My question is, will this virus protection conflict with ClamXav or Norton 11 if I were to put either into my Mac or should I remove the Kaspersky first. In addition, if I did have to remove the Kaspersky, would any AntiVirus/Spyware specific for Mac also protect the virtual machine?
