I suspect Apple will update quicktime in the next week or so and stop it from asking for un-known Codec's.

Simple way of stopping this is to check that the codec is a vaild one before any install, but I have never had to install a codec for quicktime for web content.

A bit of common would solve that one.

MAC is Unix based anyway so is as bullet proof as LINUX.

Okay 1st off go back and re-read the article

It Says at the Bottom:
The Trojan requires victims to enter the administrative password for their machine, a factor that is likely to mitigate the risk somewhat. Then again, Windows users have for years been tricked into installing malware that can wreak havoc on their PCs.


Okay so for those that don't use Macs what a Mac requires to INSTALL any software is the ADMIN Password. If you give that to a Program You did not try to install and did this for a Web Application then YOU Deserve what you get.

Linux by the Way has loads of little Nastys for it surgest you go read up on them as well. Do NOT think it's More secure than OSX for a start.

OSX is UNIX Based like Linux ;)

Not the 1st Time I have heard of this by the way.

Mac's not imune to Trojans etc etc Just harder to write to attack us.
