[QUOTE="stevescivic, post: 266359, member: 10244"] [b]Mac OS X security[/b] Thanks for the reply. In the end my only concern are the following: Out of the box using a wireless network (using WPA encryption with a very complicated key), a router with firewall, and virex is all I am using. Mac OS X is updated to the latest update release and I have set my admin password for installing my apps. I use MS Entourage and I use Safari/firefox for the bulk of my work on the internet. I don't game and I don't run any FTP services. So basically my Mac is operating out of the box and my concern is that as long as I don't do anything I shouldn't be then would it be reasonable to assume that I'm relatively safe with what I have set up? Thanks [/QUOTE]
