Advertisement Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Hi rob_x2004, Take a look here MacPorn horse for QuickTime. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael-IIIf Posted November 1, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 1, 2007 It was only a matter of time before the Mac's higher profile attracted this sort of attention. However I think if a porn site required me to enter my admin password I might be suspicious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted November 1, 2007 You gotta wonder huh. I think though that it promted you to bogus update your out of date QuickTime, and which of course reqired administrators consent, which is a mac thing, so it got your computer. The dim might fall for it. Still you never know round here. Anyway thats my charitable deed slash contribution for the day. Wankers beware...And no sending your daughters for photo shoots with some of our more artistic ex? forum members. Hes sold his M8 so it would be done with a Canon now, and we cant have that.

gberger Posted November 2, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah! and the secuity mavens complained that Leopard was unsafe because the firewall was shipped in the "Off" position, thus begging all and sundry evildoers to attack the OS. They conveniently forgot that Tiger was shipped the same way, and those of using OS X.x.x were not indundated with vermin before turning on the firewall and setting our preferences. For the new Trojan louse to enter and screw up the Leopard OS - - a user has to go to a hard-core porn web page and be suckered into downloading a "patch" to their Real Time Player. IMO, if they are that stupid, they deserve what they get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 2, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah! and the secuity mavens complained that Leopard was unsafe because the firewall was shipped in the "Off" position, thus begging all and sundry evildoers to attack the OS. They conveniently forgot that Tiger was shipped the same way, and those of using OS X.x.x were not indundated with vermin before turning on the firewall and setting our preferences. If I remember the point they were making was that if the firewall was switched on before the upgrade, it was switched off after it. That may cause concern for some. Obviously it's easy enough to switch it on again, but users may not have noticed it needed doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-IIIf Posted November 2, 2007 Share #7 Posted November 2, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just took delivery of a new MacBook Pro and I'm running Leopard on it. I have to say the Firewall settings are not as easy to understand as they were in 10.4. I could easily imagine casual users glancing at it and saying 'too complicated for me'.
