The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.2/22/10

Just saw and read about dropbox and 1password on Macworld. Couple of questions: If someone hacked into Dropbox could they read my 1password keychain? Or perhaps the keychain is always 128bit AES encrypted and thus protected, even if I emailed the keychain file to myself. They ... (1 Comment)

Gary says, and I believe, you don’t need AV for OS X. But what if you’re running a Windows app in VMFusionware on your Mac. In short, a virtual Windows machine. Thoughts?
I have Comcast as an ISP and they offer Norton and McAfee as freebies.
