[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1703278, member: 131855"] @Charlie I don't want to gum up the works unnecessarily with pointless questions. I used to have the firewall on but don't now mainly because I rarely take the MacBook Pro on the road. so here's the question for the benefit of everyone who is not a techie but still concerned about security: Isn't the quality / effectiveness of the built-in firewall somewhat dependent upon whether the OS is / is not up to date? 10.6.8 for example, is the most up to date version of Snow Leopard one can get but I doubt its as effective as something more modern such as El Capitan.
