In an interview Apple declared that “the back of our computer looks better that the front of anyone else’s”.  Moreover the first computer that has a USB port was a Macintosh computer – the original iMac. The “i” prefix is also adopted for other hardware, software devices like iPod, iPhone, iPad, iLife or iWord – software pieces.

It is well known that some of the most important advantages in using Mac are: stability (no crash), security (viruses do not exist), run Mac, Unix or Windows software. Are these TRUE?!

Over the past three years the number of malware attacks increased with almost 228 percent. Because of this a number of <strong>virus scanning software</strong> were invented. Though till now there weren’t roomers that MAC OS X malware did cause a lot of system damage a lot of users did install an anti-virus software. On the one hand you are relieved if you know that your system is protected and you’re computer is working well. On the other hand what virus software companies don’t tell to <strong>iMac anti-virus</strong> is the fact that these software programs can cause problems. For example Norton Antivirus is vulnerable during RAR file decompression; moreover version 9.0 creates a file called “spacesuckingfile.xxxxxx” after a complete scan. One of the Norton antivirus component, called AutoProtect produce a file that contains the usage of the processor. Other types of <strong>anti-viruses </strong>like: Intego’s Virus Barrier X, Virex, Sophos Anti-Virus create some problems because of the fact that the hard drive space was decimate when a lot of tiny files (thousand of them ) were creates, constant activity, performance of some application was degraded, slow performance.

It is important to remember that installing an antivirus program does not necessary mean you’re fully protected. Some virus scanning can go through your computer and see if there are some predefined files, called malware files.

The best reason for installing an antivirus software include the preventing of passing the problems to other MAC or Window users.

Many iMac users affirm that they either had froze when trying to run for a few hours the Safari application or either an error message that shows that there are some problems with the size of temp file.

There are just 10 steps that you should fallow in order to secure your Mac. These steps include: the inspection of the Get Info files, a good password, don’t operate under an administrator account, update your system all the time, turn the file display on, be sure that your antivirus program is good, turn on the firewall, set application not to accept incoming files, protect your account. In addition it is good to set up a screensaver, and refresh your password in the System Preferences.

Do you belive that these steps can help you protecting your computer?

The first placeholders for iAids are starting to evolve now with some applications. More certain versions are expected to follow.
