I sit somewhere in the middle, I’m (again scarily find myself agreeing with Thom) thinking that its good to see them making some effort, but I don’t think it’s quite far enough.

When Microsoft started implementing their own anti-malware in Windows some people applauded them, others screamed like banshees that they were trying to take over the commercial space owned by those companies who derive profit from anti-malware solutions. Still, it’s good to know Apple is taking baby steps in combating the few pieces of malware out there. Of course, at this point in time, the Mac doesn’t really require die-hard continuous protection.
This feature seems like a quick ‘n’ dirty hack, implemented to battle the two most common trojans on the Mac. As you can deduct from this, it cannot scan entire drives for malware either. In addition, files which come in through CDs or USB drives are not scanned either. This new anti-malware feature, therefore, inherits some of the key limitations of said feature.įor instance, it only works with a relatively small number of applications (Safari, Firefox, iChat, Entourage, Mail, and Thunderbird) any files downloaded with any of the other ten billion million applications capable of doing so are not scanned. The feature builds on something introduced in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which scanned files downloaded with Safari and several other applications and automatically opened them if deemed safe.

This file currently only lists the two “most common” trojans (“least uncommon” would be better, I guess), but it should be trivial for Apple to update this file to combat variants of these trojans or even new pieces of malware altogether, if the need ever arises. The feature works by looking at malware definitions in the /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ist file. Since the scope of this protective measure was not yet known – nor if it even existed at all – I thought it would be best to write another post detailing that yes, it’s real, and yes, it’s all relatively crude.

So my question is, would anyone (especially French speakers/FireFox users) know where I could find and download the last issued French version of Firefox to run on Snow Leopard.įwiw I've found and downloaded the latest French version of GoogleChrome, but wouldn't feel quite as secure suggesting that browser for regular use as I would a highly tweaked (albeit 2012) version of FireFox.Yesterday we reported that Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, due for release coming Friday, contained some form of malware and/or virus protection. (Also tried 3.6.25 but that appears to be an unsuitable Dutch version). Obviously pretty outdated, but even with attempted tweaks it was almost unusable. latest FireFox browser in French, and this is where I'm having difficulties.įrom THIS OldVersion site I found and installed a FireFox French version 3.6.24. This configuration with a highly 'tweaked' FireFox 8.0.2 browser in English (updated from FireFox 10.0.1) worked a treat, and the laptop ran splendidly. I've changed the OS 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard' language to French. I'm preparing a 17" Intel MacBookPro2,1 for local sale here after having completely refurbished it.
My query relates to an Intel MacBookPro2,1 2006 17" laptop, and knowing there is an active Club 17 thread on this forum and also a number of very knowlegeable guys here with pre-Intel PowerBooks and Intel Macbooks I thought this may be the best chance to get a reasonable answer to my query. I initially thought to post this in the Older OS X Version forum, then realised that there was nothing earlier there than OS Lion (10.7).
