just asking,
does anyone actually use . need virus barrier?
Oddly my wife works on PCs, has to because of her job, and you would be surprised at how many large companies, ship files with malware or viruses. I have now given her my MacBook Air and we use that to filter all of her mail, and I have Virus Barrier on that, it does pick up things, I cannot say how well or how actual the virus definitions are, but it works.
I used to work in Localization, many years ago, and at that time all files from Microsoft, that we localized, were not checked at source, for viruses.
You can look at it this way, you have insurance, it's there and you might need it some day, but like insurance, it guarantees nothing.
You call it Purple I call it Magenta
I received a trojan (Mal/BredoZp-B) a day or two ago in a spam email allegedly from Facebook.
Sophos identified it and I removed it. I don't know if VirusBarrier would have detected it as well. I only installed it since it now includes NetBarrier. I haven't even configured it but I'll disable the antivirus part. If I didn't have Sophos, I would use Intego.
Look Ma, no teeth!
Just bought this bundle today. Most timely bundle I've purchased...turns out today I *needed* Amadeus Pro for some work I'm doing, and I will need Screenflow in the next few days. Great timing...got my serials very quickly. I wish I had a receipt that listed the serials instead of having them just stored on their site, but screen shots and 1Password took care of most of it.
Great bundle.
Sometimes I feel so blue
It makes me twitter.
thanks to all the guys who already purchased the bundle. I just saw it and thought I'd check out what other MacHeisters say .... I gotta have this bundle. Screenflow inside!
Yep, I was thinking the same thing! ![]()
*** Insert something witty here ***
The link goes to malware "Mac Defender".... Why do you post in here?
Are you serious?
The link does NOT go to any malware. It's an article from Computerworld.
Here's their WoT scorecard in case you still have doubts:
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.computerworld.com
"...Scammers are distributing fake security software aimed at the Mac by taking advantage of the news that al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S. forces, a security researcher said today.
A security firm that specializes in Mac software called the move "a very big step forward" for malware makers targeting Apple's users..."
The article includes comments from Intego and Kaspersky. I usually disregard Intego's comments as FUD campaigns, but this one also included comments by Kaspersky and it was an interesting read.
Why post here?
Because it may address lecycliste's question:
"does anyone actually use . need virus barrier?"
Look Ma, no teeth!
I'm still wondering what this had to do with the bundle in question. Doubly so since there was a full topic about that malware already.
䷟䷽䷏䷁ — Dying of the Light.
This makes for interesting reading, I'm sending this to all my Mac friends who are convinced they are all safe from viruses, and like me most of my friends have a PC in the house, thanks to work.
It's all a little like a condom, it protects me from you and you from me, any virus firm can use that for free, just quote Macheist ;-)

foreversave has been added to the bundle now that 9000 sales have been met, including to all previous purchasers.
Referrals for your consideration:

Wow, awesome. Upgrade to Screenflow 3!!! and Foreversafe. Really useful for everyone producing written content.
Get 2.5GB for Dropbox for free. 1) Use this link to get you and me 250MB extra for Dropbox. 2) Then click here and become a guru. Thank you.
Of course, OSX Lion will have Foreversave-like features built in, but this is still a sweet bonus.

I am very curious to see what the developers of apps like ForeverSave & QuickPick plan to do once Lion comes out.
Also, could someone point out specifically where in the discussion thread it says that Screenflow 3 will be a free upgrade? I can't seem to find it.
This has been the best bundle I have seen for some time now. At least for me. I bought it when there were only about 700 sold. Very good deal with a stack of great apps that I didn't have until now. And if ScreenFlow can be upgraded to 3 later on, that will be icing on the cake!
Cracking the heist of a lifetime!

Ditto. This is the bundle I have been waiting for. Looking forward to heists, still.
Edit: Found the Screenflow 3 reference (or at least one of them).

From MacLegion discussions:
Q:
chikquintans
Just visited Screenflow web site and it states 3.0 is coming. Does this version include a free upgrade path to version 3.0? Thank you.
A:
MacLegionHelp
Hi @chikquintans - yep, 3.0 is a FREE upgrade when you purchase through MacLegion. It will be a paid upgrade IF you purchase directly through the developers though.

Now for getting the free Screenflow 3 upgrade...
They sent coupons via email. ![]()
What a difference between these people and Hairersoft (Amadeus), who decided to charge for an upgrade weeks after the promo. Needless to say I will not be upgrading that one.

Thanks! It would have been auto-deleted from my spam folder had you not mentioned this.

The code they sent me gave me some problems, since when I tried to use it it gave me an error the first time and then it said that i had already used the code, but I contacted the company and they quickly fixed the issue for me ![]()
Dropbox Referral: get 2,25GB instead of 2GB for free.
If you find any English error in my posts, be so kind to let me know.

Very thrilled about getting the free upgrade to 3.0. Just great customer service. I wish more companies would be like that.
Just downloading! Best bundle ever!

Hi guys, I have been updating this thread about the status of the site:
http://macheist.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=19782
In short, we were indeed subjected to a DDoS attack, but we changed to our own server and with that came an IP address change, which can take people 15 minutes to 48 hours to see that change. If we could speed it up we most definitely would! Anyways please check the other thread and thank you for checking us out! ![]()
