Spaces icon missing from dock

If you have accidentally deleted or simply don't see the Spaces icon on the dock of your Mac don't worry, it's an easy fix.

Simply open the Applications folder, then open the Utilities folder, then drag the Spaces icon to your dock.

That is all there is to it.

Macs and anti-virus

I know that Mac users like to run around commenting about how they don't have to worry about getting a virus, I have one too for the record, but that is not entirely true.  SC Magazine reported today about the Koobface exploit and how a Mac variant is now in the wild and I would suspect as the Mac continues to gain popularity we may see more worms making their way over to the Mac side from the Windows world.

I coincidentally installed the Mac version of our corporate A/V solution onto the management server allowing me to now run the same managed A/V solution on my Mac as on my Windows computer.  In my case, this didn't cost any extra for us to add Mac support, just a little of my time.

I would recommend checking to see if your anti-virus vendor offers a Mac client as part of the suite and if it's at no additional charge, as was my case, even better.
