[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1042178, member: 88633"] New2theMac... listen... Security updates mean the same thing as they did in Windows. They are precautions. If you download them, you'll be fine. Apple seems to find potential threats quickly and move to patch them up before you need to worry about them. Seriously, your attempts to make your Mac more secure are probably causing more damage than any potential malware. Your router has a firewall... so does your Mac. You are fine. Now stop worrying about that stuff and get to actually using your Mac. By worrying excessively you are missing out on the joys of exploring your new computer. [/QUOTE]
