Firefox gets a fresh security update
Mozilla has issued a security update for its Firefox open-source browser, just weeks after it released a large fix to address several browser security flaws.
The Firefox 1.5.0.3 update is designed to address vulnerabilities in versions 1.5 through 1.5.0.2.
Malicious attackers could exploit the flaws to cause a denial-of-service attack, which in turn may allow them to take remote control of a user’s system, according to an alert from security research company Secunia, which rates the flaw as “highly critical.”
I worry this might be the beggening of alot of more bad things to come. Only time will tell i hope I am wrong this has been such a great browser.

Apple Mac OS and Safari: Virus Targets
Apple’s Mac OS was included in the SANS Institute list of top 20 security vulnerabilities for 2005 because of its susceptibility to viruses, reports an Associated Press article on Boston.com. The institute also reported holes in Safari, Apple’s Internet browser.
I think all the big boys are targets regardless this is a little surprising this made front page news. I wonder what is to come of it.

Google expresses concerns over Microsoft’s Internet Explorer
Google accused Microsoft of not playing fair in its quest for a bigger share of the $10 billion online advertising market on Monday and revealed that it has shared its concerns with antitrust regulators in the United States and Europe.
Google’s gripe: An upcoming release of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Web browser will contain a search box that in some cases defaults to the MSN search engine
If I were MSN I would offer the ability to choose the search box of your choice and also not put itself as the defualt search box.
