Just a quick question about making sure nobody can access anything. What precautions need to be taken care of to do this? On my mac I'm not necessarily concerned with spy/adware or viruses... so for file sharing safety or risking info being stolen.. do I just need to turn on my router's firewall? Same with a Windows machine right? (assuming viruses, spyware, and adware are under control)
