Are you saying Apple’s Safari is a malicious piece of software?

I agree with you....When you down load an executable, you either give it permission to run on your system or you don’t. The OS cannot protect itself from user inflicted dumbsh!tness.....you ignorant puffed up smidgeon of blowfish sh!t

First, you are rude beyond tolerance, and out of line with the rules of this site. So here's your chance to apologize for your outrageous and unprovoked ad hominem attack.

Second, your are factually incorrect -- operating systems protect themselves all the time from userland application errors like the one in Safari under discussion here. The fact that you apparently don't know that is astonishing -- your arrogance combined with your inaccuracy makes you sound like a ranting fool. Regardless of how you sound, your statement is utterly false, would you like to retract it?

Third, you being the one who is incorrect, are out of line calling me ignorant. Unlike you, I know what I'm talking about.

So here's your chance to redeem yourself, your big opportunity to take your rude and inaccurate comments back.

BTW, I wasn't actually calling Safari "malicious" per se, although my experience with it on Windows has been terrible. I find it to be unstable and uncooperative at best. I refuse to put it on my Windows computers, and I do not allow it on the Windows computers used by the international software company for whom I am Director of System Administration. Safari for Windows will not cross our doorstep on my watch. Nevertheless, it's not "malicious", strictly speaking; it's just awful -- but that's enough.

Cheers.
