Just downloaded it -- badness is confirmed
I wanted to check out this script to confirm what everybody is talking about, so I did a search for 2004 and Word in limewire, and lo and behold there it was. Of course I did this in an empty user account that I have on my computer, just in case. It is set up as a .sit file -- which in fact it is. After unstuffing it, then a nice and pretty Microsoft Icon pops up on the desktop. After examining the Get Info window, nothing mentioned anything about an apple script. I did not run it, because I don't even want to see what happens in a dummy account, in case it somehow messes with my main account. I opened it in the apple script editor, and it is simply one line of scary looking text. I made a screenshot, but I'm not sure how to post an image? I will email it to Rob and maybe he'll post it.

"..There has got to be a way for Apple to provide some protection to this"

I haven't done the search for the file, but wouldn't the file size of an 8 byte script with a little bitmap be a tip-off that it isn't the bloatware of M$FT office applications?

Initially i would totally agree with you. But as someone else has mentioned before, it was claimed to be a web installer, which itself is small but downloads the files it needs over the web. |
