[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1702035, member: 40791"] Some say as long as your router has a firewall then you don't need the OSX one on as well. Personally I have both switched on with no visible problems. Software protection wise, I'd install the following extensions to Safari: - Adblock + - Ghostery. Also, download this and run it occasionally: [url]https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/[/url] Stick to safe websites, make sure you never give any personal details to anyone who contacts you out of the blue and you should be OK.
