a radical thought... you might not actually need it...(ooh i love macs)

thought about that, but when my slideshow of photos in iPhoto comes on as my screensaver, some of my photos have developed weird smiley faces and symbols, one even has a Korean flag superimposed. What is all that about?

If you have OS X then you already have a firewall as it is included in the OS. you find it in 'system preferences' - 'sharing' - 'firewall'.

I was just going to post "but you don't get viruses on macs" as a joke, but philippat beat me to it.

anyway as with PCs, free antivirus packages do not give you complete protection.

Get norton here

Oh, thanks lilaclotus, I didn't know that! Senora, will I need Antivirus or the full NIS??

Anyone any idea about the weird symbols and stuff?
