There are still zero viruses for the OSX Mac... this is a trojan horse application. Not the same thing. I dont download much other than the updates they tell me I need, is there a problem in this?
There is no problems with downloading and installing the updates from Apple... always use "Software Update..." from the Apple Menu on the Menu Bar. These updates from Apple are security signed and certified from Apple. Your system checks that and if they are NOT what they say they are it will stop the update dead in its tracks and warn you! Apple will NEVER notify you by a pop-up from a website that you need to click on something because they've found a problem.
I will try to do the administer user change you suggested.
Print out the Post and do them step by step and you should be fine... Then just continue Freeping as you've been Freeping and you be OK.
I'm doing fine. We buried my Mom's ashes with my Dad's on Monday with a nice family only ceremony. It was quite moving.
We had some good news to temper the passing of my mother: my older daughter gave us the news on mother's day that she is making us Grandparents! She knew before the passing of my mother and whispered it to her on her deathbed... and my Mom nodded and smiled, showing she understood... so she knew she was going to be a greatgrandmother before she died. That makes me happy.
We promised my daughter not to tell anyone until she passed her third trimester and that OK came down after the ceremony on Monday! The genetic counselors say everything is A-OK, too! YAY! She is due to deliver on December 7th.

Evidently you meant first, not third, trimester. We will be looking forward to the big day with you.Regarding your valuable recommendations to your fellow Mac users in #7 (and #11), I take it that anyone with physical access to my Mac has the ability to make himself an Admin, or even a Root, user by the simple expedient of inserting my OS X disk into my machine and launching from that disk (control C during powerup? Whatever). So since I am going to keep my Snow Leopard disk anyway, isn't it correct to say that I might just as well keep my account names/passwords right in the box with that disk? Only thing I would lose is that if someone found my password and used it, I wouldn't necessarily know it - whereas I would find it out if someone with the disk but not knowing the password came along and changed my password from what it had been, as soon as I tried to use my password?Then the only disadvantage to putting the password with the disk is that the disk helps the intruder to identify the password - and thus to gain the ability to access Admin privileges without tipping me off?
I see your wonderful news! Congratulations, new life is always a welcome thing. May God blessings smile on you all, it’s your turn! :) So glad your Mom got to hear about it, and now she can watch from a great vantage point.
