simple fix
There is an extraordinarily simple fix for these holes. Check out
the link: http://daringfireball.net/2004/05/ounce_of_prevention
for details.

No sane person can think that there is a perfectly secure OS out
there. There probably never will be. But MacOSX has a pretty
good track record so far (no viruses, only a few holes found).
Also, the community of knowledgable users has really rallied to
come up with simple solutions while Apple makes official fixes.

Very impressive.
