I was buying a fully loaded Mac to replace the 4-year-old Mac I had at home. Along with Microsoft Office for the Mac, I also wanted to buy a standard security AV and firewall application. The salesperson’s response? Not necessary. I was sufficiently chastened by the $2,000-plus tab I had racked up that afternoon to let it go. But years of writing about online security had made me paranoid. I ran out the next morning to buy the software at a nearby Best Buy. Still, there’s doubt in my mind about the wisdom of that purchase. Did I waste my money?
