While Apple moved fairly quickly to for OS X Lion and Snow Leopard to remove the Flashback malware from infected systems and patch the Java vulnerability it exploited, users of earlier operating system versions have remained vulnerable. Apple addressed that issue today for users of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, releasing to clean infected systems and disable the Java plug-in in Safari.

Today's software releases for Mac OS X Leopard mark the first significant software updates for the operating system since the debut of OS X Lion in mid-2011. Does anyone know if YouTube works without Flash on a Mac? I know it works for iOS. If it works on a Mac, I'm tossing Flash. It's not meant to be insulting but I'm shocked that PPC users did not know this. Safari 5 user? Been using it for years. Plus if you have a Youtube account, register on the HTML5 beta. //www.youtube.com/html5 If you want to take it further, Safari Menu > Safari extensions Gallery > Entertainment section > clea.nr Videos for YouTube™ (choose to remove comments, and watch videos with dim lights feature) I love it. There's not a video I've not come across I cannot watch. Except the ones that are so blocky due to how old they were made before all the HD media. Just poor bitrate. That sounds like a lot of fun. Quit your browser every time you need to use Flash and load up Chrome (If I liked Chrome I'd already be using it).:rolleyes: I like how Apple is disabling functionality in their OS (i.e. Turning off the Java plug-in; too bad if you like playing cards on Yahoo Games or something) and then forcing YOU to go out of your way to look up how to turn it back on. How about a freaking SWITCH that asks you whether you WANT it disabled when they run that update rather than just screwing the user over by messing with his system without his permission. Is Apple even AWARE that THERE IS NO NEWER FLASH FOR 10.5!!!! So they kill ALL Flash support if you run that update. Stay the hell away from it! I'm starting to think Apple is the freaking malware.:mad: Google Chrome's built-in Flash is the latest version. So, it is possible to use the latest Flash on 10.5 by using Google Chrome. Flash is becoming obsolete and unnecessary, since nearly all Youtube videos are already converted to HTML5.
