Snow Leopard Reveals Cracks in Apple's OS Security Reputation
Mac OS X is viewed by many as the most secure operating system on the market. It's certainly considered far more secure than Microsoft's Windows operating system.
But with a report hitting the wire Wednesday claiming Apple's new Mac OS X release, Snow Leopard, will feature a malware-detection tool, some of those beliefs might be put into question.
According to reports, Mac OS X will feature an application that will scan the user's Mac for known trojans. It will also flag malicious files if they are downloaded from Safari, iChat, Entourage and a few other applications. There's just one catch: that feature will only look for two trojans. Every other possibly damaging trojan will not be scanned for.
