malware

This screenshot is making the rounds online – it apparently shows the brakes being slammed on a DMG download by Safari from the new Snow Leopard OS being released Friday. If true, it would indicate Apple’s next version of OS X is being shipped with a malware blocker. I can already hear the laughter from PC users. For years Apple has told people  buying a PC means needing plenty of anti-virus extras – and that buying a Mac, well, you don’t. Although you’ll find this on Apple’s website …

The Mac is designed with built-in technologies that provide protection against malicious software and security threats right out of the box. However, since no system can be 100 percent immune from every threat, antivirus software may offer additional protection.

Of course we all know there have been a number of widely publicizes security vulnerabilities associated with Mac OS X, but really, it’s so much less than PC. So in a way, if Apple is including some sort of malware protection within Snow Leopard, then all Mac users should be happy – as long as Apple keeps it up to date. You can never be too careful. We’ll find out if it’s all true when Snow Leopard is released Friday.
