Apple Quietly Updates OS X To Protect Against Trojan
Posted on June 19th, 2010 in Snow Leopard | View Comments
Apple silently updated its Snow Leopard malware protection in this week’s Mac OS X 10.6.4 update, targeting a Trojan that disguises itself as iPhoto.
Released last August, Snow Leopard came with a built-in antimalware feature. While the previous version of Mac OS X, Leopard, flagged Internet downloads with metadata that alerted users when downloading files from the Web, Snow Leopard added an additional warning when disk images containing known malware installers are opened.
Apple released its latest update for Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.4, on Tuesday. The security and maintenance update fixed issues that could cause a Mac keyboard or trackpad to become responsive, and also resolved a problem that could prevent some Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications from opening.
