Solution
Actually there are a few temporary solutions out there. I've
seen some that look like very well designed terminal
commands than can disable the Help app in a variety of
ways but I'm not a Unix expert and therefore, not brave
enough to try them. The easiest I've seen though is to
download More Internet or MISFOX which allow you to
change the helper app in Safari (actually I think it might be
global) to something else which wouldn't run the malicious
script, like TextEdit. Of course these are only meant to be
temporary because obviously they disable the Help app so
you can't use it, but I'm willing to bet Apple will have a
solution up by the end of the week.
