Hi,
I just got my first mac today (imac, quad-core i7), and I am going thru the inevitable fumbling around trying to figure things out. I discovered after 2 or 3 hours that the firewall comes off by default. I immediately turned it on, as well as the stealth mode.
However, I am wondering how likely it is that someone accessed my computer during those 2-3 hrs, and now has the ability to mess around. I sometimes access my mothers online banking account to pay her bills, so I am worried that someone would have access to that info.
Also, I sometimes shop online. Thanks in advance, and any tips for getting up to speed on the pc to mac switch would be appreciated.
Mike
