Tek - the article I read on it said its vulnerable to Leopard in some instances as well. as of 12/3 there is not a patch.

I run without active x urned on, java has to be accepted, no pop ups, etc. Just sucks that this kind of JUNK is out there. Im running a deep scan through the Symantec site, see what that finds.

So far there has only been proof of concept vulnerabilities for Mac X, that Apple has been quick to patch, but there are still zero actual viruses.

I keep getting popups urging me to patch QT, but now Apple will only allow me to update it in a combo package with iTunes, and when I accidentally ran the iTunes/QT installation combo, iTunes totally crippled every single video viewer (Winamp, MediaPlayer, RealPlayer, etc.) I had until I uninstalled the sucker. I have a WinXP machine, and no desire to actually run iTunes.

Previous patches have allowed the option of whether or not to install iTunes along with QT, but not anymore.
