Mac OS X Yesterday we reported that Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, due for release coming Friday, contained some form of malware and/or virus protection. Since the scope of this protective measure was not yet known - nor if it even existed at all - I thought it would be best to write another post detailing that yes, it's real, and yes, it's all relatively crude.

Apple provide the APIs by which this is done, and third party applications like firefox seem to support them. Authors of torrent clients simply need to start making use of the provided APIs.

Um, right. So now it's the responsibility of each individual app to make sure it integrates with the os-provided file scanning? Please.
