Security Issue: But if Aunt Ida who is granted access as a 'family " member and hasnt patched her PC thing since it came out of the box, uploads her pickle recipe with a virus attached, is everybody else going to get it who downloads off of my cloud...

You are right that it has some sort of processor. I'm not sure what the brand is, but from the tech specs, I know it's a dual-core 600 MHz CPU. But processors are not what gets infected with viruses and other malware--it's operating systems. Once again, I don't know for sure what OS this thing is running, but I'd say there's a 99.9% chance it's running an embedded Linux distribution. The good news here is that Linux is NOT Microsoft Windows when it comes to viruses and such. It's hard to infect without user interaction (i.e., you intentionally compromising the device, or being tricked into doing so). If you use the cloud feature, it's not likely to be a virus magnet. That said, yes, Aunt Ida can get a document infected with a virus in her email, copy the doc to your NAS, and then a virus will be on your network. But that's the risk with pretty much anything that accepts files; she could have also forwarded you that email with the infection. Long story short, not much to worry about that your normal sane computing practices wouldn't already take care of.

Hey. TBH, I dunno. Actually, a friend of mine used my Amazon account to make this purchase for his dad. Sorry. :(

Thanks so much for your advice, Susan!!! I had a little bit of time while my kids weren't here today to assemble Butterscotch & then she started clicking in a big way. I got online to see what I could find & read your post. Of course, then I couldn't get the neck zipper open again...it was a real comedy of errors. Finally I got the button to push down, using brute force. Then I could unzip & get to work. It's so much better now...no clicking at all. Bless You...you have saved Christmas!!Happy Holidays,Emkay

Yeah thats what I got. I downloaded the trial too. I didn't get the virus thank goodness, but when i installed it from the cd, it was completely different and watered down. If u get the cd, you have to install it then update from the trial version

That is one of the reasons I bought a chrome box. I had assumed that since there was no real operating system that there would be no problems with viruses. So far so good!Art

I would back-up before. MasterCcook is so unreliable. I actually transferred my MC recipes to Cook'n which is now V11.3.8. Transfer was a bitch, not gonna lie to you. I have written MC many times and never received a response from any of the emails. Good luck but always back up

I never heard of it. Is this with the entire camera hooked up to your computer or just the memory card from the camera? Also, is it possible that your computer was infected and then after hooking up the camera to your computer, it was then infected?

I'm sure the issue is only affecting those two, if I heard correctly those are current bugs that are being worked on during the beta updates Mac gives. Even if it wasn't caused by an update, those are apple related products and should not affect the Antivirus program . Either way the deal is nice and you may as well buy it now.

True. I received an alert from Bad Elf recommending I NOT update my Operating System. They are working on a fix but as of April 24, 2015, they don't have it yet.

Not sure about that one. I think that if the virus that does this is in the database then it should pick it up. The stick does an update before running it's scan. I would guess that if this is a virus it should pick it up. If you need further info try the website and contact support. They are very helpful.

It looks like an un-enforceable policy. If I can install the program in 3 different PCs, how do they expect to control the machines' ownership? Sounds odd to me.

The game doesnt work anymore. So i dont use it. And when it did work. It would constantly just freeze up and i would have to shut down the computer to get my computer working again. I will never buy anything from Amazon again. I wrote a complaint and never got a response. Wrote to Origin also. And got no response from them either. So i plastered it all over social media how you dont stand by your products. So as i said before. I will never use Amazon again.

nothing on earth is unpickable or unhackable. but certainly there are things that have yet to be picked or hacked. I believe Kwikset may offer a cash prize to those who can pick their locks, and I don't think these clever folks on the internet have to collect that prize by doing this in front of live audience. I have windows on my home, pretty sure the rate get in that way to steal my queen's jewels
