Hi,
Make sure your Mac OS X is up to date.
Open System Preferences > App Store then select Updates then click Check Now.
Best way to avoid malware or adware is to keep your Mac's system software up to date.
Yes, download Safari if you want a solid browser that’s purpose-built for Mac. If you need more speed or move between iOS, Android, and Windows, you may want to look at Chrome, Firefox, or new kid on the block, Brave. Those looking to jump on the bleeding edge can download Safari 14 through the System Update tool. As mentioned, you need to be using one of the two latest versions of macOS – and therefore have a Mac introduced after 2012. Of course, there are slightly naughty ways to get around this, if you're not prepared to invest in a new iShiny.
Sneaky Mac Malware Is Using a Fake Flash Installer to Spread A new variant of the Shlayer trojan that plagues macOS has picked up some tricks, according to new research from security firm Intego. After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later: When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test. If you're getting a 'blocked plug-in' error, then in System Preferences Flash Player Advanced.
And you can check for Adobe Flash updates in System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates > Check Now
Remember to never download a Flash update from anywhere but the Adobe website.
And make sure GateKeeper is setup correctly. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Make sure: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the gold padlock icon to proceed. You may be prompted for your admin password. When you're done, click the gold padlock icon again to close it.
Ahead of the macOS Big Sur launch, Apple has released Safari 14 to the general public, granting Mojave and Catalina users access to the company's latest browser.
Many of the changes in the browser update are skin deep. The tab bar, for example, is redesigned to show more open pages, and displays favicons by default. Users can preview the content of pages by hovering over their corresponding tab in the bar. And the start page can now be customised with user-selected background images and links.
On the security front, Safari finally and conclusively purges support for Adobe Flash. This is hardly a surprise. Adobe will stop developing Flash by the end of the year, prompting every other browser developer to remove it (kinda), not least due to its overall obsolescence and endemic security problems.
Separately, Safari 14 takes a leaf from Brave's book, allowing users to see how many trackers have been blocked through a new Privacy Report page.
Surprise! Apple launches iOS 14 today, and developers were given just 24 hours' notice
