Does a Mac need anti-virus software? Why and why not?
No.Why would Apple sell a consumer friendly device which was unsafe unless you went out and installed third party software?The vast majority of malware out there is in the form of Windows executables which will not run on the Mac. There are purpose-made forms of Mac Malware but most users don't encounter it. There are no true viruses for the Mac in the wild. All Macs have a set of inbuilt malware protections. These include XProtect which is the internal malware scanner. The Mac will not routinely run software downloaded from the internet. The default setting requires all apps to be signed by a trusted source. If you only get software from the Mac App Store, these apps are not only pre-vetted for safety, but also include sandboxing internal walls which prevent malware from exploiting any weakness in the software. Anyone concerned about malware on the Mac should be aware that all recent attacks have been associated with Adobe Flash and Java. The Mac does not ship with them installed. Installing them is a bad idea. So someone worried about this stuff should —Keep the system protections turned on.Accept regular updates to get all security fixes.Not install the Flash plugin. If you must access a Java site, run Chrome which has a built-in version of Flash. Then switch back to Safari. Not install Java if you don't need it.Not install a 3rd party virus scanner. It will make your computer slower (or worse).
Can Someone Please Help Me Immediately With My Lasagna?
Moisture causes the lasagna noodles to expand, but I wouldn't worry about it, since it's only going to get a bit thicker, while other ingredients, like the cheese, sauce and vegetables will flatten out during the cooking process. Place your lasagna on a cookie sheet that's been covered in foil so it's easier to clean if it does overflow. You can also cover the lasagna with foil for all but the last 20 minutes if you're worried about your cheese burning or your lasagna drying out. However, if you're worried it might be too wet, cook it uncovered and put a piece of foil over it loosely once the cheese is as dark as you'd like it, to prevent further browning. Good luck!
