[QUOTE="technologist, post: 61643, member: 4134"] I believe the tally is something like this-- Viruses: 0 Worms: 0 Trojans: 1, plus 1 proof-of-concept So long as you're not in the habit of downloading and executing random programs from LimeWire (etc.) you are essentially in the clear. Nobody has yet built a virus or worm that can defeat the Unix permissions system. There is a simple but effective firewall built into OS X; you can turn it on in the Sharing pane of System Preferences. [/QUOTE]
