Firewalls won’t protect you viruses but they do close off any ports you are not using which a malicious person or piece of software may try to exploit. It is always a good idea to use a software or hardware firewall regardless of what operating system you are using. However, hardware firewalls are ultimately the best kind of protection you can get.

Is it really useful to turn on the firewall on OSX? I thought there are no virus or spy for mac?
I am a new user of Macintosh since September. so i m not sure about it.
