Hello, nice to meet you too. The link you posted is to a know issue with DLling dodgly .dmg files (like .Zip files). Basically if you set your browser to auto open them after DL there is a potential security risk as you could be unzipping a dodgy piece of software - of course for it to do any harm you would have to allow it to install first too. No really a big risk but something to be aware of. The lesson as always is watch what you DL.

Hi Antonio,

Nice to meet you (on the list :-).

This might help you understand what's going on in each OS?
