[QUOTE="New2TheMac, post: 1041652, member: 139905"] In regards to the hackers I mention I can't say that I know or that I feel like I'm being targeted by hackers. I certainly hope I'm not since I've done nothing to my knowledge to hurt or anger anyone. And I try not to hang around any bad places and I don't illegally download software or give my password out for just anything. However, I want to make sure that I've done enough to stay safe. Windows and Macs are definitely 2 different beasts, but I recall hearing how Windows XP computers which weren't up to date were getting infected just by a person going on the internet. Now when I reformatted I of course didn't have the latest version on my Macbook, but I had to connect to the internet to get the latest updates. At least one of those was a security update, so I'm just curious what dangers there are to a non up to date Mac on the internet. Provided the updates installed correctly I seem to be up to date, but without the security updates what danger was there? [/QUOTE]
