    isafe.exe

    I'm trying to free up a few system resources and have disabled the real-time virus protection in ZASS. Isafe.exe is still running - I know this is associated with ZOne Alarm. Does anyone know what this does and how/if it can be safely disabled? thanks

    partitioning in os x

    Is there a program to create and modify partitions on the hard disk for os x? I know you can use the apple disk utility to do this, but this wipes the hard disk, doesn't it? I'm looking for the mac equivalent of partition magic. Cheers.

    I've just done a system restore & it seems to have done the trick... the only thing I can think that caused the problem is a couple of windows updates I installed yesterday.

    Anti-Virus Programs & XP...opinions?

    from my own experience, Norton Antivirus is always better. I've found that McAfee not only slows down each set considerably, but seriously compromises the stability of the OS. Sadly, our firm promotes McAfee as our preferred Anti-Virus solution. I've yet to find out why. Whether it's...
