you don't really need it, bro.
but there is a DNS hijack going around deriving from an attack on certain wireless modems, so let me know if you get redirected to a site called wsearch.net and i'll show you how to fix it.The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect. - Jimmy Carter

Cool...Am new to the Mac systems and still find it hard to get used to not freaking about this kind of thing. Not using a wireless modem at the mo but will keep an eye out for that DNS hijack when I do - Thanks for that :)

Currently the biggest threat to OSX is the youtube and video sharing site issue. There have been a number of vulnerabilities discovered in quicktime which have been exploited through people being sent links to videos which required users to install something, but this has alwys reuired a user level password entry, so it not very seirous and always cured by apple.
in the future i suspect there will be a lot more issues with osx as it really hasnt been tested properly. The biggest threat of course comes from phishing emails, but this is well known.
