snipped postings re firewalls and anti-virus


Sacha,
Look at www.majorgeeks.com
See if any Mac versions of the following utilities are available
ccleaner
spybot search and destroy
Adaware ( from this site your safe but some have downloaded adware by
mistake)
Zone alarm free version( plenty goodenough)
download, update then run. will need to check for new updates weekly.
Not familiar with Mac machines but the above will assist in keeping malware
and spyware from computers


Zone Alarm is Windows only, and in any case none of these are necessary on a
Mac operating system. If Sacha is still concerned she should search the
archives of comp.sys.mac.system, or post a query there, but I think she has
been reassured by previous messages in this thread.

Yes, I've looked at that site, Sally and it's extremely helpful, thank you.
I have started/opened/whatever my own firewall, so thank you and everyone
else for that info. hat I do not seem to have managed is to get rid of
Symantec entirely. But I'm getting there! Again, thank you everyone.
