In a security advisory published on May 30, 2008, Microsoft urges its Windows users to stop using Apple’s popular Safari web browser, because Safari doesn’t ask for user permission before downloading files, including certain executable malicious files which are often automatically downloaded from visited websites in the background. These malicious files could then be activated by a second attack, so they represent a serious security problem, according to Microsoft.
MSFT also offers workarounds if you do not want to stop using Safari on Windows. Click here to read the advisory.
