Vulnerability in Window 7 64-bit may be exploited by Safari | MacNN – StumbleUpon. A BSOD because of a badly executed browser instruction. That just shouldn’t happen. What doesn’t Microsoft understand that people want stable experiences not excuses?

Updating to Safari caused mac to freeze

Finder (software)

It was interesting when I updated my computer to the newest current version of Safari 5.1.1. It seemed to cause my mac to freeze. I didn’t see the Finder, and there was no sign that the computer was responding even after waiting for 15 minutes. I tried to bring up the Force Quit Application dialog box but was unable. I held down the power key for 10 seconds and the computer turned off. When I started the computer up, everything seemed fine.

I had no other applications running when I did the update. Strange for  Safari to cause the system to crash. I wonder why?

Ok. Looks like I made a mistake above. Just to double-check I ran software update again. Guess what? It said that Safari was 5.1.2. So the first time I asked Software Update to install the update, it froze and didn’t complete. The second time I asked it to update, it applied the update and restarted the computer. This is the first time I remember having a problem with Software Update. Well really a problem with the Safari installer from that. I wonder why?

Force Quit Applications warning on iMac…: Apple Support Communities. Interesting that it lists 3 programs that must be memory leakers. I seem to do better avoiding Firefox and Safari. Can’t really avoid the Finder but that is nice to know that restarting it may fix issues. The solution is below:

I just upgraded the recent version of Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard and it’s supposed to fix the memory leak that’s eating up my RAM.  Hopefully that will fix the problem.
