Be warned, Juliet, about downloaded software.

Some have viruses and there *are* viruses for the Mac. If you start seeing an extension called '666', for example, in your extensions folder, then you have one already. I bought myself a copy of Norton Antivirus on CD on eBay and I scrubbed my macs with it.

I'm pretty religious about virus scanning everything I download. There was a time when I got something nasty from being careless and had to reformat my entire drive (losing everything, since my backups were infected too) to get rid of it. I'm using a Windows machine as my main computer at the moment, as much as it drives me nuts...
