If you happened to download a virus or whatever, it still wouldn't know how to attack the Mac and so, would just sit there, being unable to do anything.

No, for sure. You must have downloaded some pirated software and that staff from unreliable sites to get viruses - Macs don't really get them often sleep.gif I've install a firewall ProteMac NetMine some time ago and have no problems with security smile.gif
