Security of Apple: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard unsafe but now Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard safe

The Mac OS X is an open source operating system. i.e. its a free software version that comes under Apple Inc. Apple Mac book are the most demanded notebook in this market. Everybody has a fascination “if I would be having a Mac book I can play with it” this is the new generation wants-PLAY in a digital way. But they must be aware about the data and secret files they have in their machine, which they feel is important. Now as the Mac OS X is an open source OS that means it doesn’t get attacked with the viruses. For a small information I want to let my blog reader knows that Mac OS X is the successor of Mac OS 9, which is build on UNIX based operating system and graphical interfaces is developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Inc. Mac Os name came from Macintosh Computer Systems. Mac Os becomes the primary OS of Apple in 1984. The “X” represents that it is a Uni”X” based graphical operating System. As open source operating systems like red hat, ubuntu, fedora, mandriva, knoppix etc.these OS has a full security to the user that’s why we normally don’t install any kind of antivirus, antispyware or antimalware softwares. Because we know that the architecture is totally different from windows versions. Now we have the idea that Mac OS definitely prevent viruses, worms, malwares, spywares, phishing prohibited and definitely makes a wall which can’t be broken with any kind of backdoor planning.
In that case Mac users know that they are safe. But hey there’s something that many of you don’t know is that Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard version has a loophole in the security portion. I want to make them know that malwares can’t be detected by this Leopard version. So when Mac Os X comes in the market it becomes clear within some days that as Apple does many improvements in graphics, performance, transition with the Intel based architecture also it silently adds up a malware update in its version in the “XProtect.plist” file which shows us below the fact.



The file that contains the signature of that targets in Mac malware security update




After that we compare the both version of Mac OS X 10.6.3 snow leopard and the MAC OS X Leopard version and we found that there was no update of malware security in (MAC OS X Leopard) this version, there was a loophole in the architecture of security portion, means when we were known that we are safe but at that time we aren't. There was a detection of a Trojan named "OSX/Pinheard-B," that has been around for several months, which lets attackers use infected computers to send the spam, take screenshots, access files, and pretty much take control of the computer. That’s why MAC OS X 10.5 version users now know about it and take some steps. But in this official release Apple didn’t tell us about the security update, it silently does it. So, those people who are the users of Mac OS X please install a antimalware software ( no antivirus, antispyware) in your machine and start surfing anywhere without worrying about you data and your security.....................................
But Mac OS X 10.6.3 snow Leopard version supports other security defences well like “sandboxing” using it architectural defense, it always updates the security, it allows you time to time to open a file just like KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY but for once only for one file. If you do open that file once then that file counted as a trusted file from then. All thing is done in the UNIX way.
My security advice to you people is that

Whatever you download just scan once atleast.
After performing all operation in a day perform cleaning at least once.
Do install anti-malware software in your Mac Book
Try to download your data from a licensed and trusted site.

Go Mac ; Go happy ;Play safe.............................   
