Re: Interesting read regarding AV Software

Good morning, If you have Auto Updates selected does the OS also get automatically updated ? I am still using Mojave and want to stay with it for now. Cheers Walter *** > On 10 Jun 2020, at 10:11 , Marcus Harris wrote: > > Yes Ronni ,I thought that was the case. > I have auto updates

Re: Interesting read regarding AV Software

Hi Stephen and Marcus, /quote There are viruses written for the Mac, iPhones and iPads, they do exist but Apple is successful at deflecting them because Apple expends a huge effort in keeping their customers safe, protecting customer privacy via an effective multi layer defense system built

Hi Marcus. I used to use Intego which did slow down my Mac. But I have had no noticeable slow down with Avast. However I do recommend the Premium (paid) version. > On 8 Jun 2020, at 10:03 am, Marcus Harris wrote: > > Thanks for the response. I recall some time ago people saying norton slowed

Re: Interesting read regarding AV Software

I recall I had a suspect attachment to an email many years ago reported by the virus software I was using at the time (I can’t remember which, it may be what I am using now). But that attachment was said to be a Windows virus. So, in effect that makes zero effective viruses for me since my

Hi Marcus, I most certainly agree with Alex, I read all a...@macmyths.com and it doesn’t change my mind. I’ve never had any Malware on my computers and I would not recommend installing Norton AV on any Mac computer. It is not required and will most likely slow your computer to a crawl. Kind

Re: Interesting read regarding AV Software

Yes that is interesting, but do you Personally choose to instal AV software. I always update my Apple systems ASAP and expect to then be malware secure. Should I buy Norton as Al suggests? Regards Marcus Harris Mobile +61417965618 > On 6 Jun 2020, at 1:48 pm, Stephen Chape wrote: > >
