Didn't see anyone dressed as an iPod tonight, but someone

After my own experience with a Mac-based trojan earlier last
week, here is a suggestion to help make Mac OS X a little safer
after Halloween:
1. Download and install (as administrator) "RCDefaultApp" which is a
free preference pane.

2. Open your system preferences (Apple menu->System Preferences...")
3. Select "Default Apps" (under others) and configure as follows:
4. Click on the URLs tab.
5. Select "<disable>" for any protocol that uses the Terminal or
Finder as the default. You can also choose another application if you
have one and trust it. Specific protocols to change include: afp,
ssh, telnet, and x-man-page.
