[Hidden-tech] Got my PC today. How do I get it exchanging files with the Mac?

[Tony Gomes]

There are a bunch of free antivirus programs out there, or even paid ones with free variants. The top two for the last decade or so are: AVG and Avast. Recently Avast baught out AVG so they are owned by the same company but still two separate products.
I've been using both for years but have found that AVG seems to be a little more "hefty" to run as of the last 2 or 3 years, so I've gone to Avast. Just be careful/mindfull because both products try to install a bunch of other stuff to "help" you out. And make sure to put either of them into "gaming mode" so as to stop anoying pop ups.  With either product they kind of want you to run manual scans but there is a "burried" way to set up scheduled automatic scans, a little Google and you'll find it.
Pair that with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free to use in manual mode, pay mode for schedules and live services), and this should cover 99% of everything you run into that's bad.


Hope this helps,
Tony

Thanks, everyone. I don't have iCloud (always been a bit suspicious of Apple's data grabs) but I do have carbonite. I should be able to make it work that way or via the router. I also found a nice list that gives the basic keyboard commands.

Three more questions:
My machine came with McAffee but they want to charge me annually. What's a good freebie virus protection?
In Gmail, what's the keyboard command to send a message?In a browser, what are the keyboard commands to zoom in or out?
Grateful, as always,

Thanks for all the advice on buying a computer. My Lenovo 320 arrived this afternoon. I was able to run Edge, install Chrome, and purchase MS Office (for $58—wow! And this is not a pirate copy).

But I cabled the two laptops together with a blue Ethernet cable, set up a home network and can't get them talking together yet. I can't figure out how to find the IP address of the PC which I might need according to one set of instructions. But the help file hasn't been updated and talks about Win 7. I'm running 10.

What I want to do is a selective backup of some of my documents and all of my music. What's the best way to do this?
