Say what?

I'm not kidding... I thought I had a virus.

AntiVirus 2009 anybody? Anybody...?

Some comments from John's Blog....

“Very poor practice indeed.”

“This is disgraceful. It fails the user in favor of serving Apple. It is, in fact, malware-level tactics.”

“If Microsoft did the identical action, install some non-user-selected software using their software update channel, there would be cacophony across the Internet.”

“This is just a sick way of tricking users...”

“...I’m a little shocked honestly as a Mac user...”

“It is fair to say that this is indeed malware distribution practices.”

“...what Apple did was clearly misleading.”

“Steve should apologize.”

“...it’s a terrible misuse of a user’s trust in automatic update systems.”

“Instead of Apple Software Updaters being welcome on my system, I now have to treat them as rogue programs that can corrupt my system and trojan horses that can try to sneak unwanted software that I never asked for onto my system.”

“Frankly as a previously enthusiastic Apple user I’m insulted by this.”
