Gary, coming from the Windows culture, the first thing I looked for..LOLOLOL..was viral and malware protection.

Another thing, is that there is no (that I am aware of...) fire-wall hard coded in the Vox. So..anytime you are connected to the Net, you are sill at risk of hacker/Trojan/bot infiltration. That is a given. Your Mac no doubt runs behind a firewall. If you use hot spots other than your locked down WiFi at home...this could be a vulnerability for your Vox. This program scans all that you have on your kit at boot, and then monitors as you are up and running, as you initiate an install...or worse...an 'install' that you did NOT! It then warns you at the top notification bar of what it has done/scanned/found.
