[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1455700, member: 110816"] As far as firewall goes, you want to use what comes with a router. You don't want to directly plug into the broadband modem directly. This provides the greatest amount of protection with no impact on your machine. The alternative to this is to use the software firewall built into OS X.. As far a AntiVirus goes, you can generally skip the ones that stay resident and scan everything as they will slow things down. Be watchful about what you visit/download/install and you will be OK. A little bit of common sense will keep you out of harms way. Should you absolutely need an anti-virus to appease your concerns, then looks at [url=http://www.clamxav.com/]ClamXav[/url].. [/QUOTE]
