[OSX-Users] Mac security concerns

[Julian Field]

Following the recent rash of malware targeted at Macs, please do 2 
things on *all* your Macs:

1. Software Update. Now and not yesterday. Install everything available, 
and keep going round the loop until it finds nothing more.
2. Go into Safari Preferences, General tab, and **untick** the "Open 
safe files" box at the bottom.

Then if your Mac tells you it's just downloaded something you weren't 
expecting, please don't open it, just delete it.

That will keep you all protected.

Many thanks,

Jules
