I take it that her Mac doesn't have a software firewall installed and that's how you got her off your back?

Only OS X's built in firewall. However, OS X does not have programs like spyware and trojans that "phone home." I can give her a Mac with no outbound firewall and know that she won't get infected with a load of crap.
