Use GURLfriend

Ahhhh, I see now that the hint has been updated and yes, I set the "help" protocol to hand the call back to Safari... which hands it back to Help! Sheesh.

So are we sufficiently secure from this exploit with the steps outlined in the hint? Or do we need to be nervous about those OpnApp scripts (the script that runs the exploit) sitting there on our hard drives? Forgive me if my questions are stupid, I'm a security newbie!

Anyhow, GURLfriend only seems to alter the OpnApp script in the english localization folder, yet there are copies of this script in other language folders.

Use GURLfriend

If you set the "help" protocol to use Safari, it likely will cause problems. I have set it to use TextEdit, and it works fine.
