    Safari, in a windows environment, will easily allow malware download without a user's consent, and Apple doesn't care enough to fix it!:nuke:

    Why would such a security conscious company not fix their software?

    Safari = Mac.

    IE = Windows.

    Carry on

    Mac is secure because no one cares enough to write malware for it.

    That is actually close to the truth. With only 5-8% of the market, the script kiddies don't bother with it too much. WinDoze is a MUCH bigger target.
