4 is no longer supported by Apple for virus or malware protection updates. 10.4 will not protect your computer from the most recent virus. The oldest version they are still supporting with security updates is 10.6. When 10.8 comes out this summer 10.6 will no longer be supported as Apple only goes back one OS. Best to upgrade as soon as you finish your project so you system is secure.

Best regards,

Jason
