I had to make the little safe updater app do it for me. Why won’t it do this automatically through the security panel? I am really frustrated - I did the toggle off toggle on twice but it is NOT WORKING!Thanks.

You are not the only one. I think it does it during restarts, but I have nothing to base that on other than a hunch.

I tried to put an apple smiley in here just to test it out.

Anyway, I know I got the top dog with ADMINISTRATOR responding and I wanted to ask
if you could put this link to the SAFE APP somewhere searchable:
Apple Safe Files List: Staying On Top of Malware Definitions
How-To by Jeff Gamet | 2:57 PM, Jun. 2nd, 2011

Right now, it is under this link: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/apple_safe_files_list_finding_your_version_number/

BUT the problem is, there is no ARTICLES drop down that I can see and this is such a
great TIP that maybe you could stick under tips there as well (I have 2 more macs in
other locations that need your SO SO helpful app! I don’t want to restart to get the new defs
and I sure with Apple would tell us if that is what is required anyway, but I love the app -
so neat and clean).

Just a suggestion.

PS- Just wanted to show folks what the safe downloads app gives this morning, Friday June 10, about 7 AM Hawaii Std time with this little screen shot.

Sure enough, putting in my administrator password into t
Safe Download Version.app

UPDATED the definition, which apple DID NOT DO automatically just by having
my imac turned on.

Cheers! Have a nice weekend everyone!
