[QUOTE="BlindingLights, post: 235174, member: 15775"] 1. No- viruses do not run on OS X because every virus out there runs on the .exe file system- executable files, which OS X doesn't understand (which is also why Windows apps won't run in OS X). That's one of the greatest things about macs. 2. The firewall's automatically tunred on. To change it, go to System Preferences in your dock, then select sharing. You can customize it from there. 3. No spyware- same reason as no viruses 4. You should check for updates, under System Preferences, go to System Update, then Check Now, and it'll check. I suggest you install updates whenever you can. 5. No deleting temporary files, there are no temporary files. 6.
