Apple Releases Security Update

Apple today (11/11) released Security Update 2010-007 for Mac OS X 10.5, and a 10.6.5 update for Snow Leopard users. Depending on what version of operating system you're running (go to the Apple Menu and pull down to 'About This Mac' to find out), your download will range anywhere from 240mb up to a whopping 977mb. You can go to the Apple Support web site and search for it (which can be painful), or just fire up System Preferences and click on Software Update (my suggestion). Unsurprisingly, many of the fixes in these updates are for Adobe's Flash...continuing the slap fight that's currently going on between the two companies.

Once again, waiting a day or two probably won't kill you. (Special note for those who use PGP's Whole Disk Encryption: do NOT do the 10.6.5 update yet.)
