Safari for Windows Contains Trojan Horse
As we reported yesterday, Apple released its Safari Web browser for the Windows XP and Vista operating systems. Within hours of that release, users not only found bugs, but they also discovered some Windows-like security risks within the browser code. Among the "bugs" is Trojan horse code that could allow a remote computer to execute operating-system-level commands on another computer. This code could potentially allow a not-so-nice person to install and delete files, as well as use key trackers to capture your passwords.Of course, Safari for Windows is only in beta (test) format right now, but the Internet community is ablaze with Apple vs. Microsoft banter (lightly put). That said, Safari is worth a try, as it includes some cool features like drag-able tabs, resize-able text-entry fields, and versatile search.
No, Apple is not out to get you. Just be careful out there, Switcheroos.
