I have a couple of blanket rules for security. 1. Don't install software unless it is open source, or has enough external recommendations for you to trust it.

I have a couple of blanket rules for security.
1. Don't install software unless it is open source, or has enough external recommendations for you to trust it.
2. Never, ever, run any pirated software on your computer as it is usually impossible to tell if they are not backdoored.
3. Delete emails with strange links or attachments.
I have tried out Little Snitch before (an OS X firewall). It probably is a good idea if you are getting unusual traffic on your network.
- atmosx 12y agoUnder OSX, following the rules you stated (open source and/or legal software that comes with a license): * ClamXav - antivirus * Littlesnitch * SpamSieve (Mail App spam filter) * Use local installation on Unbound on foreign WiFi networks Enable the default firewall is a good call also :-). I'd say enable 'encryption' but, IMHO it's better to have a something like Prey running if you laptop costs more than the data within. Otherwise, sure go with encryption.
