AOL? AOL makes OSX products, although AOL's Mac support is lacking.
So far the two malware scares mentioned are pretty much
scareware. They do nothing. Most OSX users have OSX set to
update itself at regular intervals. This latest FUD scare is just
that FUD. Anyone who doesn't update their OS for 8 months
must be on another planet. Apple puts out regular updates
which download and install through the Software Update in
system preferences. Very few Mac users don't install the
updates. My Mac is set to check for updates once a week. Most
security updates and OS enhancements also require
administrator's password. I take normal precautions for
malware. I use a hardware firewall, Virex, and Little Snitch. At
least I don't have to worry about the 500,000+ pieces of
malware floating around the Windows world.
