Despite Apple's claim that its engineers "designed Safari to be secure from day one," researchers have already found several dangerous flaws in the new Safari for Windows browser.
These flaws can be used to launch drive-by malware downloads if a user is lured to a malicious Web site.
Here are several steps you can take to disable various features in Safari to reduce the risk of hacker attacks.
On Apple's Safari download site, Windows users have two choices -- Safari bundled with QuickTime or Safari as a standalone download.
If you wish to beta test the new browser, avoid the QuickTime bundle, which could potentially introduce additional security risks.
You can download the browser without giving your e-mail address to Apple.
I did exactly as was recommended,knowing full well there is problems with Quicktime.It is,to me,a superb browser,small,concise,very fast,no silly toolbars to play with,fully functional with much more room on screen for the user.Just have to go into preferences and get rid of Apple as the start page,insert your own.With this great browser,I can finally sideline the IE7 which is too bulky,far too slow and cumbersome.Highly recommend it.
