Thanks so much for all the feedback! I really do LOVE my mac!!!In some cases, Norton provides you an alert to join the Norton Community Watch that collects information about potential security risks from your computer and sends the information to Norton for analysis. Also, will setting up my wireless printer be easier with either set up? I don't want to loose much of the functions I have with my Mac if I go with Boot Camp (I've read that the track pad doesn't work with Boot Camp). I have a 17" MacBook Pro, so, from what I've read, my performance shouldn't be affected too much.

I plan to spend most of my time on the Mac side. HELP! What's the consensus here, what's the best way for me to to run occasional Windows programs such as MS Money Plus, Print Master, Microsoft Works, Lotus Word Pro, not to much more. > Then I went back to Parallels after my research indicated that my needs didn't really require Boot Camp. > Then I was convinced Boot Camp was the way to go (since it's an Apple product & I would get Apple support & it's already on my computer so that means one less program to purchase, plus, in my mind I figure the whole virus thing would be easier to seperate) From what I've read, Parallels appears to be easier to install, was recommended for users who don't need to run Windows intensive programs & is more flexible to use than Boot Camp. Is Boot Camp preferred to parallels? Hmmm. I've also looked into Quick Books Mac but that's a bit much accounting for me. With MS Money, I was able to create multiple ways to organize my transactions (Categories and more than one Class/Tag). Along with personal banking, we have rental properties, & a small business. It's a good program, but didn't quite fit my needs. Thanks so much for any input/suggestions you may have.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried iBank. Sorry if that's TMI, but I figure I'd give you some background before getting to the main questions.

Will the free version of AVG be sufficient if I don't intend to access the internet from Windows? Does anyone have any other recommendations for anti-virus programs?

How do I only run anti-virus for Windows if I am using Parallels? (do I install it after opening parallels?)Ĥ. Do I only need to run an anti-virus for Windows? Can I feel comfortable that my Mac is safe from viruses in doing so?ģ. Does it make a difference if I use Parallels or Boot Camp as to how I run an anit-virus program?Ģ. I do NOT plan to access the internet using internet explorer. I only plan to use windows for running a few applications such as MS Money Plus, Print Master, Lotus Word Pro, and maybe Microsoft Works.

However, my research on mac forums indicates that running an anti-virus is not necessary for Mac. I was told (by Apple) that I would need to run a Dual Protection Anti-virus (Intego Virus Barrier x5 Dual Protection was suggested). I'm concerned about viruses and running Windows on my Mac. I haven't purchased anything yet so I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone has. Most of my research indicates that my needs for Windows would be best filled by using Parallels. I have a PC, but it's having issues & I want it off my desk anyway so my new Mac can take center stage (where it belongs).Īgain, more research on my part as to whether I should install Windows (XP) under Boot Camp or Parallels.

After a lot of searching & trial of downloads, I've concluded that my best solution ( & to maintain my sanity) is to just stay with MS Money.

So far, one of the problems I've encountered is I've had much difficulty finding a financial software program similar to MS Money for my Mac.
