[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 109762, member: 8287"] Agreed. I have thought about that very thing many times. Even XP's Built in Firewall in SP2 is incoming only which is why I never use it. My Router has a nice SPI firewall to protect me from the outside getting in anyway. If it were Windows I would be a lot more concerned but I do share your concerns though. I have messed with Brickhouse also. It seemed pretty complete. The reason I don't worry as much about OSX is, how would someone install something that would call home from the outside as they would need Super User access to do it. Any thoughts on that? [/QUOTE]
