[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 62021, member: 3850"] Your mac DOES come with a built-in firewall, it's hidden in system prefs: System-preferences->Sharing->Firewall The port that's referred to is used by iTunes if you have enabled 'share my iTunes library'- which lets other users on your network see & play your music. If you don't use this feature, disable it in iTunes preferences and the message should stop appearing. If you do use it, just go to the sharing preference pane and check 'iTunes music sharing'. Btw, I wouldn't bother with Norton anti-virus, there are no known viruses for OSX, so why waste your resources... [/QUOTE]
