[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 681866, member: 24098"] The built-in firewall should be fine, providing that you have put it into stealth mode (under the advanced options in the Firewall tab of the Security System Preferences). If you would like to halt outbound traffic as well, check out [URL="http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html"]Little Snitch[/URL]. Generally speaking, that really isn't necessary. I don't really use many 3rd party widgets, aside from AirPort Radar, which is helpful in identifying nearby wi-fi signals. For maintenance, try [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx_leopard.html"]Onyx[/URL] - although the Mac does a good job of maintaining itself. Typically I don't force maintenance unless I'm actually having a specific problem. Welcome to the forums! [/QUOTE]
