Version 2.0 adds a tab overview feature that allows users to quickly browse all open tabs in a layout preview. Tabbed browsing has also been improved with drag-and-drop rearranging, a scrollable bar, and a dedicated menu listing all of the open tabs.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/flash.blocking.improved.with.new.features/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/25/snow.leopard.antivirus/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/snowleopard.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The upcoming Snow Leopard update reportedly contains new anti-malware functionality, according to the Mac security company Intego. A number of beta testers have noticed a new warning screen that alerts users to malicious code. A leaked screenshot shows an alert dialog for an RSPlug Trojan contained in a disk image downloaded through Safari.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/25/snow.leopard.antivirus/ Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/11/mac.trojan.spotted/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0710/tro_071031_trojansm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />TrendMicro has spotted another Domain Naming System (DNS) Trojan targeting Mac systems. The malware, known as OSX/Jahlav-D, masquerades as a MacCinema Installer. Users are prompted to update QuickTime Player by downloading a QuickTimeUpdate.dmg file.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/11/mac.trojan.spotted/ Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/11/new.mac.malware.circulates/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0710/tro_071031_trojansm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A new piece of Mac-targeted malware has entered the wild, say security researchers with ParetoLogic. Dubbed OSX/Jahlav-C, the software is currently associated with a website called PornTube, and is described as a Trojan concealing itself as an ActiveX object needed to run video. The approach is somewhat unusual in that ActiveX is uniquely associated with Windows, and therefore less likely to dec... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/11/new.mac.malware.circulates/ Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/10/apple.security.attitude/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0710/tro_071031_trojansm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has changed its attitude towards viruses and malware on the Mac, claims security firm Intego. Apple last year issued an advice statement admitting that "since no system can be 100 percent immune from every threat, antivirus software may offer additional protection." In announcing more features of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Intego notes that Apple has taken a more stringent approach, for instan... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/10/apple.security.attitude/ Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/17/mac.based.botnet.active/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0710/tro_071031_trojansm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The first known botnet to exploit Mac OS X has been activated, security researchers claim. The network is believed to have been put in place by iServices, a Trojan infection accompanying some pirated versions of iWork '09 and Photoshop CS4. Although downloaded at least 20,000 times by the end of January, the Trojan's payload has remained dormant for some time, in the same manner as many Windows ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/17/mac.based.botnet.active/ Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/31/conficker.no.mac.threat/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0903/worm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Mac owners are unlikely to be affected by the Conficker worm, claims security firm Intego. The worm -- also known as Downadup and Kido -- has already infected a number of Windows computers, and is expected to become active on Wednesday. Though the exact behavior it will exhibit is unknown, researchers are said to believe that it will connect to remote servers to download code, and then become ma... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/31/conficker.no.mac.threat/ Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/26/mac.trojan.hits.photoshop/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/22-pscs4-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A second Mac trojan is being spread through pirated software, Intego warns. Following the discovery of a trojan linked with copies of iWork '09, the security firm says it has now found a variant, attached to pirated versions of Photoshop CS4. OSX.Trojan.iServices.B also grants a remote user root access; the new trojan is associated with the crack application however, and is spawned under a diffe... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/26/mac.trojan.hits.photoshop/ Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/trojan.linked.with.iwork/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0710/tro_071031_trojansm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A new Trojan attack has been linked with illegal copies of iWork '09, says Intego. The security firm notes that in some copies of iWork found on BitTorrent sites -- and other pirating venues -- a Trojan dubbed OSX.Trojan.iServices.A is attached, masquerading in the form of a package file called iWorkServices. When the iWork installer is launched, iWorkServices is launched as well; while this may... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/22/trojan.linked.with.iwork/ Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/10/first.look.iantivirus/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0812/09-iav-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Many Mac anti-virus programs waste their time scanning for Windows contaminants. While this may be fine if you need to share files with Windows users, you may not want a program that gobbles up excess memory and processing time just to protect against malware that can never even hurt your own hardware. If youíd rather have an anti-virus app that focuses solely on keeping Macs virus-free, one optio... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/10/first.look.iantivirus/ Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:40:00 GMT
