One of the joys of leaving the Windows world 4 years ago was never having to worry about and purchase AV software.

One of the joys of leaving the Windows world 4 years ago was never having to worry about and purchase AV software. See this story over at CNET, he says that within 18 months Apple is going to recommend we use security software. Hey Bryan, it seems I can’t code a URL into a post lately. Is that just me, or are others having that problem? I am using BBCode and not HTML. [Edited by Stephen Swift: Cleaned up Link] Stephen Swift said on May 7th, 2009 at 8:32 AM: CNET Story: Apple is going to recommend we use security software. Hey Harry, just tried encoding a url using the format [ url = http://my.url/ ] Text [ / url ] Let’s see if it works. I think in the new system, it requires the “Text” and closing url tag, where I believe in the old system it was optional. There are also the formating buttons if you don’t want to remember the syntax.

There are also the formating buttons if you don’t want to remember the syntax. But I want to remember the syntax, and forget the sin tax that I frequently pay, I have been working on my coding skills. Anyway I am going to mess with it in a forum post where I can preview it. MOSiX Man said on May 7th, 2009 at 9:55 AM (Edited: 05/07/2009 12:56 PM): Hmmm… I see two main options here: 1. Pay for a corporate antivirus software package that I’m only using to check files I might transfer to a Windows PC, and which will install all kinds of invasive files all over my Mac, making it a pain to remove when it stops working right or screws with something. 2. Use the free, simple and proven-reliable freeware (donationware) ClamXav. ClamXav homepage [Edited by Stephen Swift: Fixed URL] MOSiX Man said on May 7th, 2009 at 9:58 AM: Hmmm… url = http://www.clamxav.com/ http://www.clamxav.com/ / url Stephen Swift said on May 7th, 2009 at 12:55 PM: MOSiX, yes I was demonstrating the tag with spaces, or else EE would try to render the tag. Try the guided <a> button and see how it formats the url for you. Post A Comment or Log-in. Need an account?
