[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1525186, member: 54417"] A few golden rules .... If you did not specifically went looking for it, don't install it. Switch the OS X Firewall ON on your portable Mac's .... that way you don't have to worry about it when using " untrusted " networks. Always keep your OS and apps up to date. If you think that technology is going to solve your security problems, then you don't understand the technology and you don't understand the problems ..... what I mean is that any amount of technology will always be defeated by human behavior. Do not share your credentials with anyone. Do you need Flash and/or Java ? Do you really need it ? Are you running your Mac as an Admin user ? Do you really have to or is it just convenient ? In summary, Human behavior is what matters, not ( just ) technology . Enjoy your Mac. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
