Can you clarify? As far as I know, there are zero ways to attack an OS 9 Mac. The only report ever was a Webstar server which had a third party app which had a security hole. If you want to be "infection proof", get a Mac OS 9 system. It cannot be compromised by hackers. Especially if file sharing is not active, it is not possible. As far as OS X goes, how can a machine get infected/infiltrated from web browsing? There are occasional security hole reports, but I did not know of any which worked on end-user machines.
