I’ve listened to several of your podcasts of Tech Guy, TWit, Security Now, and Inside the Net. As an IT Professional that started out with an Atari 800XL (which is stuck away in a closet) I have one big disagreement with the advise you give in your KFI Tech Guy show.
Telling people that they don’t need to run anti-virus software. The average user won’t even notice the difference in performance/resource hit with or without it running.
For the past 7 years I’ve been working at the University of Michigan Health Systems. Because of HIPAA our computer are locked down as much as possible. I’ve only run into 1 program that wouldn’t run with user permissions, Sierra’s Master Cook version 5 & 6. It was written for 9x and they never re-wrote the program for NT/2K/XP and makes calls to admin only resources.
As for all other program, I’ve found changing file permissions on the folder tree of the program to “Modify” for everyone, and giving full control to everyone to the HKLM keys the app creates allows any applications to run as a standard/restricted user I do this with a command or VB script that calls Secedit and an .inf file I created with the MMC security plugin.
I’ve also knew the answers that you didn’t to some of your caller’s questions, and at the same time, I picked up a few tips from you.

Regarding the woman who wants to print out her address book - I know you don’t like Microsoft Outlook, but for keeping and printing contacts, there’s nothing like it. Although I use Thunderbird for e-mail, I keep Outlook because I can have multiple address books (I keep one separate book for synching with my cell phone through BlueTooth) and it has great options for printing out the books as well - you can even highlight names (or not highlight them) to choose which names get printed, so you only print what you need.
Most Dayrunners are either full 8.5 x 11 pages, or they’re 5.5 x 8.5 - which is a standard sheet, cut in half. All you really have to do is print 2 pages per sheet of paper, print on the back and use scissors or a paper cutter to cut the sheet in half. If you’re lucky enough to have a 3-ring binder, you can get an adjustable 3-hole punch and adjust the punches to the DayRunner size. If you have more holes, you can actually buy 2 (or more) ADJUSTABLE (the fixed-spaced ones don’t help) punches and you can actually move the punchers onto a single punch.
If worse comes to worst, you can use a word processor, set up the document to print 2 pages per piece of paper and type in the address book into a document.

Speaker Issues on Mac: The audio out on some devices require a load to work. Some speakers with internal amplifiers do not put a load on the device. Try getting a Y adapter, plug earphones in one and the speakers in another.
If you are handy, solder a couple of resistors of around 20 to 100 ohms across the left and right channels to ground on the speakers input line.

“Reports emerge of Mac OS X Trojan horse or worm”
Peter Cohen - MacCentral 1 hour, 46 minutes ago
Reports indicate that someone has let loose a “Trojan horse” or worm for Mac
OS X users. The program is hidden within a package that purportedly contains screenshots of Apple’s as-yet unannounced next major revision to Mac OS X. Whether it’s a Trojan horse or worm seems to vary depending on the source of the information.
ADVERTISEMENT
The package, called “latestpics.tgz,” first surfaced recently on a Mac rumors Web site. Independently verified by Ambrosia Software president Andrew Welch, he’s dubbed it the “Oompa-Loompa Trojan,” because the files in question check for the presence of an attribute called “oompa” — an apparent reference to the movie and book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”
If you are stupid enough to click on something called InfectMySystem,
you get what you deserve.

Most Apple Mac users ARE that stupid, why else do they need a computer that they taut is “simpler to use”?
“ Second OS X malware emerges “

“A second piece of Mac OS X malware has emerged this week, though this one poses a very limited threat, thanks in part to Apple’s own response. Security software maker F-Secure Corp. describes Inqtana.A, a Java-based “proof of concept” worm that exploits a vulnerability in Bluetooth on some Macs that haven’t been updated with Panther and Tiger security patches.” (MacCentral)

Leo is there a way to email you about a question
to:
Ok, I’ve been happy with Internet Explorer, it does what I want and I didn’t have to do anything to make it work. And it’s free.
But, lately I’ve heard of all of the security holes using I.E. I’ve also heard the incesant rants on the podcasts by Leo Leporte, a tech guy I respect. So, I relented and took the plunge and installed Firefox 1.5. It has tabs, is safe because it doesn’t run ASPs, etc.
I’ve been using Firefox for about 2 weeks and eventually had to give it up. Yes, I loved those tabs, kept everything neat. Yes, I felt safer. But, dang it, it simply didn’t render many pages properly. It didn’t handle CSS very well and some pages were completely unreadable.
We often create web pages, without frames, where we hold the column titles fixed and scroll the data. Doesn’t work in Firefox. Some rollovers don’t work in Firefox. You can see an example of this at www.excelsystems.com. Roll over the words Application Development. A list of choices should appear in the grey bar below those words. They simply don’t show up in Firefox. I wouldn’t have even known those choices existed had I not been an I.E. user.
How can a bunch of so called “experts” laud a product that just plain doesn’t work properly? It’s incredible what Lemmings many of the mainstream media and press are these days!
In any event, I found what I think is a good solution. In installed I.E. 7 and now I have tabs and what Microsoft has claimed is a safer and more secure browser.

Hey “Arizona Steve”, got news for you …. Apple HASN’T MADE ANYTHING OF THEIR OWN since 1997! The LAST Apple “assembly” facility in the US (near Sacramento, CA was CLOSED September 1997).
Apple had (as in “had made and designed” for them) the first iMac by Hyundai in KOREA! PowerBooks of the early/Mid 90′s were made by IBM/Sony in Japan. Since the late 90′s EVERYTHING Apple sells is made (if your lucky) in Taiwan; OR WORSE Korea and China (all your iPods for example). There is NO SUCH THING as an American Made Mac. Hasn’t existed in 15 years.
Apple, piloted by a very liberal Steve Jobs, was one of the FIRST US computer makers to outsource manufacturing to the “East”; while companies like Gateway and Dell were still manufacturing here or at least Mexico.
Tech support? Well if you think that you’re actually talking to an “Apple Emplyee”, you’re nuts. They are outsourced Phone Support personal (certainly NOT real “Techs”) and you MAY only get to a REAL Apple support person if your issue might likely result in a lawsuit (pretty remote. sport!)
So it’s time that you and the other Mac Droids exit the Fantasyland that you’re living in if you think Apple is “American”. It is, but only in the marketing spin.

Q Thomas in Walnut - Windows Remote Assistance
Make sure to turn it on. Open the System Properties Control Panel, click the Remote tab, then check the “Allow Remote Assistance” box. You may also want to click the Advanced tab and check the “Allow this computer to be controlled remotely” button. To request assistance, press F1 for Windows help and click “Ask for assistance.”

Q Anthony in Canyon Country - Swap file location
It’s always best to put swap files, pagefiles, and scratch files on a second disk - so that it doesn’t slow down the program or operating system as much. Of course, if you have lots of RAM you won’t need the swap as much so you’ll see less benefit.

Swap File performance
Best results are obtained when using a DEDICATED FireWire Drive as Windows can simultaneously read and write swap file. Windows treats FireWire as a SCSI device, so the limitations of IDE half-duplex data flow are no longer an issue. TMP & TEMP vaiables should also reside on the FireWire Swap Drive. This gives WICKED fast performace, especially on video editing!

Regarding Dragon Naturally Speaking, I have been using it for years. However, I think that the basic version that you suggested is not enough. Any user should get the “Professional” version, due to the “recorded playback” that is available with that version. In proof reading the dictation, it is very, very helpfull to be able to highlight the dictated text and have the dictation actually played back. In that way, one can easily determine what was said, in case the dictation does not come out correctly. Otherwise, your dictation may instead read line a “Norm Crosby” routine.

David O,
“Are there any current issues such as a virus, spyware, adware, malware or key loggers that Mac users need to be aware of?
No viruses; no spyware. The only malware, AFAIK, is Openor, but that caused less of a problem than alarmist news articles implied it would:
http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/security/0,2000061744,39164062,00.htm
“If so, what “must have” Anti-Virus or Malware programs should a Mac user install onto their system?”
I’d advise none. Since there are no viruses *what* would you be scanning for? Extra software only wastes diskspace, slows a machine, adds to complexity - hence instability, and introduces another source of possible security holes in the shape of bugs in the AV software.
But if you really want to run an AV program, use the free and open source program ClamXav -
http://www.clamxav.com/
But it’s not necessary, at present, to run AV software at all.
More useful strategies:
1. Keep up-to-date with patches
2. Enable the built-in ipfw firewall (in Sharing preferences)
3. Think twice before installing any software that has an installer that requests your administrative password.
“… Besides using the Apple Utility to fix permissions (whatever that is) and running the “FSCK” file system check upon start up in addition to running freeware programs like MacJanitor, what third party Disk Utility program is a must have for Mac users?”
None.
Furthermore, you don’t need to keep running fsck and you certainly don’t need MacJanitor. Here’s why not:
http://www.rixstep.com/4/2/macjanitor,00.html
Waste of time, no?
As far as 3rd party disk utility programs go: Leave well alone. Most of these are just AppleScript wrappers for a couple of commands you could run in terminal yourself. Many are badly-written; and some are positively harmful:
http://www.rixstep.com/4/2/cocktail,01.html
Avoid such stuff. Use Apple’s own built-in utility DiskUtility.app (in the Utilities folder in Applications) if you encounter any problems - or as a prophylatic measure, if you wish.
Sorry, I don’t use Netscape 7.

In general, it’s best to push the firewall upstream, but there are some circumstances where a software firewall offers additional protection.

Can you tell me if there is a way to take everything off the hard drive (after backing up all our files that we want to keep) and then reinstalling our software (yes, we have the disks).
Would these viruses and sights be likely to reapear even after that because they would be imbeded in the data we save on disk?

A few shows ago a caller said that he was having trouble repairing permissions on his Mac. He was getting the message “Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility.” Leo ended up recommending the user reinstall the OS.
I don’t know if anyone has brought this up yet,There may be a simpler fix. There seems to be an issue with iTunes 6.0.2. If you get that message, go to Library/Receipts and delete all iTunes receipts except iTunesPhone.pkg, if it is installed, and iTunesX.pkg. For some reason, Disk Utilities doesn’t like those old receipts. You can trash the old packages.
This fix came from http://discussions.apple.com and has worked on countless units in our school system.

uTorrent vs Azureus
When I decided to learn how to use Bittorrent, I followed Leo’s advice and began with Azureus. It was a great tool to get into all the details and settings. I learned fast. After heavy usage, the Java started bogging my system, became intolerable and locked up frequently. Resource hog
I switched to uTorrent. It is super small, stable, friendly and smart. Trouble free for me. I’ve been using for about four months. Freeware,

We had a forgien exchange student with us for about a month late last year. He downloaded some pornography and we have had nothing but problems since. We’ve taken the computer in for repair three different times to Best Buy and turned it over once to the computer repairman at work just last week. We’ve spent probably about six or seven hundred dollars trying to clean up this mess but we still get porno sights poping up as well as others that knock us off line when we close them. (The student is no longer with us)!
Can you tell me if there is a way to take everything off the hard drive (after backing up all our files that we want to keep) and then reinstalling our software (yes, we have the disks).
Would these viruses and sights be likely to reapear even after that because they would be imbeded in the data we save on disk?

Are there any current issues such as a virus, spyware, adware, malware or key loggers that Mac users need to be aware or afraid of?
If so, what “must have” Anti-Virus or Malware programs should a Mac user install onto their system?
And on that note… Besides using the Apple Utility to fix permissions (whatever that is) and running the “FSCK” file system check upon start up in addition to running freeware programs like MacJanitor, what third party Disk Utility program is a must have for Mac users?
And on a side note… Has anyone else on a Mac noticed a hidden window in Netscape 7.1 that resides on the users desktop whenever the brower is in use and isn’t able to be closed by the user until the browser is actually shut down?
What the heck is that all about?
Thanks for the feedback!

Playing with lasers can cause permanent eye damage.
The beam can hit your eye faster than your eye lid can close. Green is the most dangerous color as it gives the sharpest focal point on the retna, but all colors can cause blindness if the power of the laser is very bright. I have been in the laser business for many years.

I appreciate all the help that you have provided us. I was wondering the if you would talk about using an external hard drive as the boot drive on a mac (pros/cons). Quick scenario is I got a mini to hold me over for a year or so until the swich is complete. I got a Lacie 250GB external that is quicker than the internal.
By the way I use Firefox on all my computers. Any words on Safari on that topic.

Hey “Arizona Steve”, got news for you …. Apple HASN’T MADE ANYTHING OF THEIR OWN since 1997! The LAST Apple “assembly” facility in the US (near Sacramento, CA was CLOSED September 1997).
Apple had (as in “had made and designed” for them) the first iMac by Hyundai in KOREA! PowerBooks of the early/Mid 90′s were made by IBM/Sony in Japan. Since the late 90′s EVERYTHING Apple sells is made (if your lucky) in Taiwan; OR WORSE Korea and China (all your iPods for example). There is NO SUCH THING as an American Made Mac. Hasn’t existed in 15 years.
Apple, piloted by a very liberal Steve Jobs, was one of the FIRST US computer makers to outsource manufacturing to the “East”; while companies like Gateway and Dell were still manufacturing here or at least Mexico.
Tech support? Well if you think that you’re actually talking to an “Apple Emplyee”, you’re nuts. They are outsourced Phone Support personal (certainly NOT real “Techs”) and you MAY only get to a REAL Apple support person if your issue might likely result in a lawsuit (pretty remote. sport!)
So it’s time that you and the other Mac Droids exit the Fantasyland that you’re living in if you think Apple is “American”. It is, but only in the marketing spin.
