Bump
HA HA!
OLD news. There have been two security updates, and an incremental OS update (X.3.6 - X.3.7) since Opener came out. Those updates closed the vulnerabilities exploited by Opener.
The Mac OS has been designed, from the ground up, with security firmly in mind. I'm sure that more spyware will be written for the Mac, but the difference in terms of security problems between the Mac OS and Windows XP is laughable .... 7000 viruses for windows, 2 for the Mac OS. I'll gladly take a 3500 to 1 ratio any day of the week!
Strange that Gary always pings me with what he thinks is "bad news" for the Mac OS, but never when there's bad news or viruses for the Windows XP platform. But ... of course ... if he were to ping me every time a new virus comes out for Windows XP, he'd be pinging me all day and all night long, 7 days a week. :)
