Securing Yourself I suggest that you use an Antivirus + Firewall solution. Some may argue the effectiveness, or other points, that it is not very effective, however, in the long run, protection against some threats is better than none. To those who may say, "I use a mac, I don't get viruses.", you're wrong. There are viruses for OS X and there are known exploits for Safari, with more being discovered daily. Just because you use a mac does not mean you're safe. It is also important to note, that while OS X does have a significantly smaller number of viruses,none of that matters if your browser is exploited. Starting with a few recommendations. Antivius + Firewall Comodo AntiVirus The reason I recommend this is because. 1. It is free for the basic version. 2. It also allows you to sandbox any and all applications ran on your system, preventing malware from doing anything harmful to your computer.

Chrome is shitty and is vuln atm, Comodo is good but it'll annoy you and stop you from installing many programs by restricting your own computer from installing them into program folder
