it no longer is requiring the administrator password for those who are running as administrator level users who have "Open 'safe' files after downloading" checked in Safari. ALL OTHERS who are running as Standard Users are not at risk from this malware!

So, since I run Firefox, not Safari, I shouldn't worry? (In any event, I'm not dumb enough to run an installer I didn't intentionally download, no matter how "official" looking it is.)
