I used to do some work-from-home things, and in order to do that I was required to install and maintain an anti-virus program. I chose the Intego software.

I retired several years ago, so I don’t need Intego anymore. I finally uninstalled it last week.

I recall that some time ago you posted instructions on how to turn On Apple’s anti-malware downloader that software like Intego turns off.

Would you mind posting that again?

Speaking of “non-Mac” machines, I just began the nightly process of Malware sweep/Virus sweep/Check drivers/Turn the Win7’s off with Grandma’s laptop and oh, joy got a Critical Update.

Anybody hear anything about ANOTHER patch out of the MS Wizard Brigade?

Oh, well. Maybe it’s just a reminder to rush over and grab our copies of Win 10.

Snort.

...if I hear about any more non-supported equipment (like my six-month old Epson), I may just turn to Apple or Unix or just go back to chalk sketches on the damn shop floor.
