Some questions about my new Mac- help me..
I recently bought a new MacBook (with Leopard). I got the hang of the OSX fairly quickly, but I have a few questions about it.
My first question is about viruses. Here's what I know so far: although there aren't nearly as many viruses (trojans, malware, w.e) for macs as there are for PCs, they aren't impervious. To counter this, I installed ClamXav, which im happy with so far. Was it a good choice?
Also, I was wondering about p2p software. Are there many (or any) viruses I could accidentally download that would affect my computer? (I don't really care about spreading windows viruses) If so, what can I do to protect myself against them? I have been warned to stay away from p2p programs, but that isn't an option. (I've already downloaded Limewire)
Secondly, my computer ate my address book! I went to open it one day, and it just showed that little question mark. I guess I might have deleted it by accident, but I dont know. Is there any way I can get it back without having to re-install Leopard?
Finally, and this is more of a gripe than a question, but when is Network Magic going to support Leopard?? Its really annoying having to leech of other people's broadband...
Well, I think thats it... thanks guys!
