  • If you're using Safari the very first thing you should do is change the default settings so that disk image files don't open automatically.

    To do this start Safari and go to Safari > Preferences > General and un-check " Open "safe" files after downloading, that'll stop potentially dangerous files from opening automatically.

  • It used to be Mac users could feel pretty safe when browsing the net, not so anymore I guess. These people are pure evil.
