I followed the links in the slashdot article to MoreInternet
http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/moreInternet/
and then changed the help: protocol helper to Safari. When I try
Rob's link above, it just annoyingly opens another browser window,
but doesn't do anything malicious. That should do in the short
term until the security fix comes out.
actually I get help being launched no mater what I change "help" protocol to.
I located "help" by right mouse clicking the dock "show in finder"
and gave my self and all users "no access rights" and now It just
doesn't come up - of course that means I cant launch it for
legitimate help functions I may need it for like airport config
issues :(
Change the helper to something which is unlikely to be able to handle
URLs. Safari is a bad choice :)
I chose a random app that I don't launch very often (APOD Grabber).
That way if it suddenly launches I know someone's tried to use the
exploit.
Have fun,
Shay
