well, if apple can patch more than a dozen security hole with 10.4.9, then there must be some holes there, right? 😀

fortunately, seems nobody really exploit them yet. but again, its always good to be cautious.

Yup, there's no viruses, spyware, trojans, worms, adware or just malware in general. However, I enable the firewall, just to make me feel good 😀.
