[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1035714, member: 110816"] Wow you are totally paranoid..and not in a good way..you'll greatly benefit by spending some time learning how Mac OS X (Linux and other *nix OS') is different than Windows when it comes to things like Virus, and other intrusive software.. I've been a long time Windows/Linux user and the FIRST thing I do on a Windows machine before anything is install a good anti-virus and firewall on there in addition to the firewall that's on my router.. On the Linux machine, I do NOTHING as far these things..I don't even run a firewall on my Linux machines.. I recently switched to the Mac, and I do the same thing as Linux..no anti-virus or firewall..I let the router's firewall do the work for me.. Regards [/QUOTE]
