i guess you're right, reddog!

5.26.2005 News
Clam Anti-Virus (ClamAV Mac OS X) is affected by a command execution vulnerability as described within the advisory. Details within the advisory claim that when a suspected infected file is handled by the program and is not able to be removed ClamAV may attempt to copy it to another location utilizing the 'ditto' utility in Mac OS X. The ditto utility is called in an insecure manner allowing the attacker to include arbitrary commands in the file name that will would be executed in within ClamAV. The most recent version of ClamXAV is 0.85.1 and is not vulnerable, be certain you are running the latest version of this product.

2.16.2006 News
Mac OS X Virus Alert - Sophos Anti Virus has found the first 'real virus' for Mac OS X known as OSX/Leap-A or OSX/Oompa-A. The OSX/Leap worm or trojan is spread via instant messenger forwarding itself as a file named 'latestpics.tgz'. When launched the worm attempts to spread via iChat sending itself to the users buddy list. The application will also try to infect the recently used applications

maybe i'm wrong!

arent there like 6-10 known mac viruses and like 10,0000 PC ones?

TinyGiant · 11-27-2008, 08:54 AM

the ones for the mac usually work with microsoft office.. so if you dont have office it cuts it down to 2-3 known viruses

The Macbook does not have the same video graphics capabilities as the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro has a video card, wear as the Macbook's video is integrated. If one is a hardcore gamer or adobe suite user the Pro is Ideal. Many intense games will not run on the Macbook. I currently use a Macbook and love it. Don't ruin it with Windows.

guys i need help again. Even though i got a mac for my photo editing but i'm still use my window at work for stuffs.
I just bought a FreeAgent Go 250gb External hard drive. I plan to use this to copy stuff from my window computer and then use it later at home on my Mac like my little 1gb flash drive i got.
But after reading installation instruction, i don't think i can use my external hd for both computer, since the preloaded software is available for windows only.
Question is i really don't need to install any softwares or application on it,
i just use it to copy music, photos, and Software application from one computer to another like my 1gb flash drive. Is it possible?

TinyGiant · 12-04-2008, 01:47 PM

it shouldbe fine.. you shouldnt really need software to use an external drive.. if its USB just plug it in and drag and drop.. then when you are at the other computer you should be able to access whats on it..

i think some of the externals come with filemanager software.. that you probably dont even need.
