Posted by timothy on from the well-it-wouldn't-be-polite-to-patch-windows dept.

Trailrunner7 writes with this snippet from ThreatPost: "Apple's first Mac OS X security update for 2010 is out, providing cover for at least 12 serious vulnerabilities. The update, rated critical, plugs security holes that could lead to code execution vulnerabilities if a Mac user is tricked into opening audio files or surfing to a rigged Web site." Hit the link for a list of the highlights among these fixes.

    You casually dismissed three vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution, two of which live in OSX system libraries. I'm not too sure you're being objective. The other possibility: you are talking straight out your ass.

    I guess my question is which is it?

    You most have missed all the reports on the virus spread through torrents for Photoshop CS4 and iLife.

    Ans you"most" have missed that a Trojan isn't a Virus.
