[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1326290"] I respectfully believe this is bad advice. I can't see any way in which EITHER firewall would do ANYTHING to prevent a JRE security issue, and turning both on is a well-known cause of all kinds of problems. If you have a router firewall, that's all that's needed. The Mac firewall is off by default for a good reason. [/QUOTE]
