Macs have a pretty solid reputation as being 'virus-free.' For the most part, Mac users don't have to install anti-virus software and worry the way PC users do. Recently however, a malware program pretending to be a anti-virus software for OSX has become an issue. So much of an issue, that Apple itself has posted a response, removal tips, and are releasing an update to the OS.
You've probably heard a lot about 'the cloud' lately. Windows 7 commercials have PC users stating "To the cloud!," and then magically solve the issue at hand. But what exactly is it? And does it really fix everything?
The cloud is basically online storage. When you save documents, mp3s, or any kind of file on your PC or laptop, it's stored on your hard drive, taking up space. The cloud allows you to save that same file, but instead of on your PC, it saves on the internet...in the air...or cloud...sort of magically. Why is this helpful?
