[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 942483, member: 8287"] Agreed completely with Tech and CWA. OSX is pretty secure but who knows. It's much better to be safe than sorry later! With the OSX firewall on Stealth, I did a test on Steve Gibson's security site and every test came up stealth. I also run a good router with a full SPI Firewall on my whole network. I have Macs, Windows XP, Vista and 7 and no issues at all. No matter how secure OSX is, down the road who knows what some hacker will find. Being secure just in case is a good thing! :D And don't worry about those few hours you ran with it off. I would bet $$$ nothing happened. [/QUOTE]
