Indeed, they are also acceptable to viruses and spyware. As the Mac is starting to take off, more and more viruse will filter through. | |

Also get AppZapper, dragging software to the bin doesn't delete software entirely whereas AppZapper will search for linked files and get rid of it all :thumbs: VLC and Flip4Mac are a must for playing majority of video formats. Also iLife if you haven't got it. Transmission or uTorrent for torrent clients - uTorrent is in the beta stages, but still fairly decent. And if using Torrents, then run PeerGuardian OSX as well, blocks known dodgy ip addresses - although not a 100% sound solution, it does help to prevent getting caught. Oh and keep the mac updated :thumbs: | |
