To get to the point of "The user just goes to update his Mac and unknown to him, etc" the user MUST DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL A MALICIOUS TROJAN. It cannot download and install itself... it has to have permission to be installed

So my option is to either go unpatched or risk running the patch program? Hmmmmm....sounds like a bad deal to me.

For-q, you just choose to IGNORE anything that you don't agree with, regardless of the facts.

THERE IS NO RISK IN RUNNING A PATCH PROGRAM FROM APPLE'S SECURE WEBSITE.

If a user wants to download and install a patch from somewhere else, a trojan not a virus, then he deserves anything he gets.

Your entire purpose here is to spread FUD... you are not doing too well... because you appear to any reasonable person to be totally unreasonable.
