Apple ships Leopard security update, includes Flashback remover

"Apple on Monday issued its first security-related update for OS X 10.5, or Leopard, in nearly a year, to disable long-outdated versions of Adobe's Flash Player."

Thanks lafinfil,
I don't post here very often, but always check out the latest goings on in the forum.

That certainly caught my eye!

For some of us still using PPC there's a hitch.
"Monday's update will not be installed on PowerPC-equipped Macs running Leopard." Has to be good news for many.

Not to mention that the Acrobat updates (that CAUSED the vulnerability in the first place.. DAMN Adobe to HECK !) aren't available either.

"This update removes the most common variants of the Flashback malware. "

Nice that it gets some of them I guess.




Having ended up doing a nuke and pave as part of my flashback removal experience and a combo update all the little quirky wake from sleep issues that weren't really "problems" are gone. Knock on white plastic, haven't had a beachball yet, either.

So are PPC machines immune to Flashback?

What...? It's not enough for you that jdc just declares it so? Do you still question that Lincoln freed the slaves? Or that man actually walked on the moon?

Flashbacks began in the 1960's if I remember korrectly *(:>*
