First Snow Leopard Update Plus Other Mac Security Updates
Friday, September 11, 2009
Apple has released the first update for Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.1, due to erroneously including an old and vulnerable version of Flash in the original release. This update also includes a few additional fixes.
Even if you're not running Snow Leopard yet, you'll want to use Software Updates under the Apple menu to get your copy of the latest Security Updates for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.8.

Update Adobe Flash Player
Monday, March 2, 2009
Another day, another exploit for your computer. Today it's Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash Player, used by just about everyone to view video on Web pages. You may have it without realizing, as it is often automatically installed by various sites and programs.
Why is this update important? If you don't have the latest version, your computer could be attacked by viruses simply by viewing an infected Web page. "Trustworthy" sites are often infected, so your only protection is updated software, good antivirus, and a little computer security savvy.
Download the latest Flash Player today, and stay tuned to Tech Tips for the latest computer news.
