Just received the macbook pro a few days back and cant wait to get it going. Does anyone know of any free firewalls/antivirus software they could recommend? Am googling for any but would prefer the recommendation.

If you are running it on OS X then the built-in firewall is OK. Just go to 'System Prefernces' (the icon that loks like a light switch in the Dock at the bottom of your screen), click the 'sharing' icon on 'Internet & Network' and click the 'firewall' tab and turn it on. Maybe not the most powerful available but providing you install the monthly security updates from Apple you will be fine. If you want commercial internet security software then try the offerings from Intego. A search on Google or Windows sites like www.download.com or www.majorgeeks.com will reveal a host of Mac software you can use for various things.

If you have installed Boot Camp (see other posts) and are running XP then I always use the ZoneAlarms firewall in preference to the in-built one provided by M$.

And I'm very jealous....
