Anti-Virus for MacPro ...

Somebody has hacked our Internet connection and downloaded illegal files. I'm looking for Anti-Virus software to use with my MacPro.

I've already called our ISP (Charter). They told me there is nothing they can do, since I use my own router. I called D-Links, and they helped to set up a secure connection. I asked them about setting up a second level of security (recommended by Charter), but they told me I didn't need that, and refused to help me with the MAC ID Filtering (recommended by Charter).

I called Apple Tech Support and they helped me to adjust some other settings (Firewall on, Sharing Files off).

I just want to have the maximum security to hopefully stop whoever is hacking and downloading illegal files ...

Having an open router, Wireless or not, is very dangerous.

Never leave at the defaults.

Anybody can figure out how to get in there if it's open.

I think I've got the router configurations pretty much set now.

-- changed SSID to nonsense name
-- 15 character Pre-Shared Key
-- 15 character router log in
-- turned File Sharing off
-- Firewall maximum
-- WAP2

I can't hide the SSID though, because my tablet can't get online with the SSID hidden.
