[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1415406, member: 245480"] You can start at this thread: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/208133-sage-advice-new-mac-switcher.html[/url] I'd say one of the biggest things is don't bother installing antivirus software. As of right now, there's not a single virus out there for OSX (despite what antivirus companies claim) and antivirus software will really decrease the performance of your Mac. Malware exists for Macs but it's rare and usually requires you making really stupid decisions. I know it's hard coming from a windows environment but just have faith. When (and if) a virus is ever released on Macs, you will probably hear about it here well before it ever reaches your machine. Also run software update (under the apple menu) on a regular basis.
