Security Warning

On June 1, 2010, in Mac News,

This was reported today on MacInTouch.com. I have copied it as this is on the front page now, but will be pushed down into their archives as the days go by.

I would not download any free or shareware applications from the sites mentioned until this is totally resolved. I have asked for a statement from MacUpdate.com as they were named specifically (also named were VersionTracker.com and SoftPedia.com).

I will try to keep everyone up to date on this issue.
