[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1075115, member: 54417"] Welcome to the forum ... a great place to be. With regards to your questions about the security threats , and without getting into the detail of risks ( which is diffferent ) I would say: 1) Technical threats to OS X are far less than technical threats to Windows ... Enjoy your Mac 2) Human threats are the same on any Operating System ... think before you click, allthough sometimes the mouse is faster than the brain -_- 3) Vulnerabilities in the OS are far less than with windows keep your OS up to date So.... the overall risk level is less compared to other OS's Now ... before you start asking questions on Antivirus and stuff, check the forum and you will find many , interesting visions on this subject. Relax and enjoy your Mac .... if you apply common sense, you will get a long way. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
