[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 463058, member: 8287"] Mit321 was talking using the OSX Firewall to prevent Virus's. I said that there are none in OSX at this point. Like Del stated though, the Firewall can protect you from other systems networking into yours. For that it's great. An AntiVirus program at this point on OSX is worthless unless you download Windows files and do not want to infect your friends with Windows or run Windows in Parallels or Bootcamp. I never really tried to say the Firewall is worthless. It was late. I have a very good Hardware firewall here so don't use the the OSX one, but turning it on can't hurt. [/QUOTE]
